- The author demonstrates using a coding agent to locate clips from public-domain films in the Prelinger Archives: the approach builds second-by-second caption indexes for 1,864 films, letting the agent find footage by searching captions.
- The scripts are published on the Hugging Face Hub and are reproducible.
- This caption-index-plus-agent-retrieval combo is useful for automated footage discovery and video-editing research; more to come, per the author.
