This Chrome extension, Bilibili AI Skip, aims to automatically bypass advertisements in Bilibili videos using AI. It targets Bilibili users seeking a more seamless viewing experience by identifying and skipping ad segments through subtitle or audio analysis.

How It Works

The extension leverages AI models to analyze video subtitles or audio content, pinpointing ad start and end times. It prioritizes subtitle analysis and falls back to audio analysis (requiring user authorization and potentially incurring costs) if subtitles are unavailable. A key feature is its use of Cloudflare API for caching ad data, reducing redundant analysis and improving efficiency. Users can also contribute to a shared database by manually correcting identified ad segments.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: Install from the Chrome Web Store or load unpacked.
• Prerequisites: Chrome browser (Manifest V3 compatible). API keys for AI models (e.g., Gemini, GPT-4) and optionally Aliyun for audio analysis (10 hours/month free, then ¥0.288/hour).
• Setup: Requires configuring API keys in the extension's settings.

Highlighted Details

• Supports AI analysis via subtitles or audio.
• Includes manual correction and a shared ad data database.
• Offers UP主/tag filtering to exclude specific videos from analysis.
• Provides a Surge module for iOS/iPad users to skip OP/ED and use danmaku for skipping.

Maintenance & Community

The project is actively maintained, with recent updates including AI re-identification, manual correction features, and UI improvements. The developer offers a built-in free API option (maintained at their discretion) and supports various third-party AI APIs.

Licensing & Compatibility

The project is licensed under the MIT License, permitting commercial use and integration with closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

The developer recommends manual skipping due to potential AI misidentification. Audio analysis requires user authorization and may incur costs beyond the free tier. The project notes that free API services may cease, advising users to register with third-party providers.
