Reading this post, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40435786 inspired me to work on an AI-powered podcast adblocking service as part of a challenge where I'm launching 5 startup ideas in 2025.
It was a little more complex than expected to get working reliably, and I've included several different prompts on the backend to target "house ads" as well as more common brand ads.
Users can choose a podcast and get an ad-free feed to use in their existing podcast app of choice, like Pocket Casts, Overcast or Apple Podcast, unlike the original post and other apps, where you have to use their app to listen to the ad-free versions.
