## Description

YouTube is a nifty tool but the recommendations and home page suggestions are not relevant all the time and incentivise you to keep watching. RefineTube uses Google's Gemma 3 LLMs to help you manage your watching experience better by rating the thumbnails you click and showing some visual feedback.

You can configure RefineTube to use LLMs loaded locally on LMStudio or Google's AIStudio APIKey during setup.
