This is a POC to see if AI could do a good job at generating tech news. I'm not convinced it can yet, but I'll continue to work on the prompt.
dotnet run 🤯
There are a few steps to manually preparing the news:
- Find articles - usually done by browsing Microsoft, GitHub, OpenAI, and other blogs.
- Picking the most important ones - done by reading the articles and understanding the content.
- Add notes for the presenter - done by reading and understanding articles, and finding the most important bits. Also add why it matters
| Step | Can it be automated? 🤖 |
|---|---|
| 1. Get the articles | Yes, using RSS feeds seems to be working ok. |
| 2. Pick the most important ones | I'm using OpenAI API to do this but I feel this will always need manual help (e.g. Generate initial list with AI then human with add/remove links) |
| 3. Add notes for the presenter | Not yet tested, I dont think it will do a good job of picking the things Adam likes to talk about. |
Overall, I am not convinced that this can be automated well.
