> I created a prompt and dataset containing everything I knew - cover art, audio files, metadata and URLs for everything I had found, and gave it to one model. I instructed it to also keep a running log in an MD file with the investigation results – what it tried, what hadn’t worked, open hypotheses.

This immediately invoked the old phrase, "bicycle for the mind" for me.

I've had success with agents finding old bits of media I couldn't find on my own through search engines, but I've never taken it to the project management level like this. Hard problems require more intensive scaffolding, I suppose! To me, the AI is more of a side story here considering everything OP did, but it clearly was useful, even essential.
