I turned to a technique I call 'video scraping,' which involves feeding a screen recording video into an AI model, for data extraction purposes.
Willison then asked Gemini to pull the price data from the video and arrange it into a special data format called JSON that included dates and dollar amounts.
The cost [of running the video model] is so low that I had to re-run my calculations three times to make sure I hadn't made a mistake.
The accuracy of the results—and what the video analysis cost to run—surprised me.
