In the second video in my Over the Shoulder YouTube series, I demonstrate how to use LLMs to help with a common content management task: extracting structured metadata from unstructured content — in this case, Markdown text files.
Specifically, I’m using Simon Willison’s llm command line tool, which allows you to leverage LLMs within traditional command line workflows. This particular workflow is the sweet spot for LLMs: it doesn’t require much creativity and yet can save MASSIVE amounts of time.
If you work with a lot of content, learning the command line helps. And Simon’s tool takes content management workflows to another level. Highly recommended! (Also check out my earlier post on how to use llm to recategorize content in a site.)
