Psyop: Local LLM YouTube Agent

A background service that leverages a local Llama instance to autonomously generate search queries based on your interests and auto-play a selected video in Chromium.

It uses a systemd timer to do this every 30 minutes.

Prerequisites

• Node.js: To run the agent logic.
• Chromium Browser: To watch the videos on a full YouTube interface.
• Local LLM: An OpenAI-compatible API endpoint running locally.

---

1. git clone

2. npm install

---

Fill data.json:

{
    "interests": "90s FPS level design, esoteric philosophy, and stoner metal"
}

---

Run the local llama:

llama-server -m /path/to/llama.gguf -c 32000 -ngl 99 --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

---

Create the service file at ~/.config/systemd/user/psyop.service.

Edit this to use the correct paths:

[Unit]
Description=Llama YouTube Scanner

[Service]
Type=oneshot
WorkingDirectory=/home/yo/code/psyop

# Tell systemd NOT to kill left-over child processes (Chromium) when Node exits
KillMode=process

# Run as your user so it has rights to the display session
User=yo

# Pass both the Display and the Authority file
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
Environment=XAUTHORITY=/home/yo/.Xauthority

ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /home/yo/code/psyop/scanner.js

Create the timer file at ~/.config/systemd/user/psyop.timer:

[Unit]
Description=Run Llama YouTube Scanner every 30 minutes

[Timer]
OnBootSec=5min
OnUnitActiveSec=30min

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now psyop.timer

(Note: If you want to trigger a run manually, use systemctl --user start psyop.service)
