The killer feature for using AI on podcasts is automatic ad blocking. You get that working folks will pay $5/mo for that alone.

Would be nice to be able to TTS translated transcriptions. Insert tags to switch between voices on normal TTS, and eventually move to device side generated natural voices that matches original cadence.

For what services other than youtube?

Seems like a lot of podcasters haven't migrated from google music / google podcast to youtube music podcast. The ones that do does have youtube interface but I rarely see any get tagged by sponsorblock. Honestly one of the things I was looking forward with the google podcast -> youtube music podcast clusterfuck.

A testing version of this app hasn't been published yet or isn't available for this account.

As mentioned - only works for YT.

I also don't know if the crowdsourced skiplist works for podcasts as well as for youtube ads, since I think a larger proportion of podcasts use dynamic ad insertion - do they have consistent length? Might mess up ad tags/flags
