Creating a News Summary Bot with LLM and GAS to Keep Up with Hacker News
Analysis
This article discusses the author's experience in creating a news summary bot using LLM (likely a large language model like Gemini) and GAS (Google Apps Script) to keep up with Hacker News. The author found it difficult to follow Hacker News directly due to the language barrier and information overload. The bot is designed to translate and summarize Hacker News articles into Japanese, making it easier for the author to stay informed. The author admits relying heavily on Gemini for code and even content generation, highlighting the accessibility of AI tools for automating information processing.
Key Takeaways
- •LLMs can be used to automate news summarization and translation.
- •GAS provides a platform for deploying simple automation scripts.
- •AI tools are becoming increasingly accessible for non-programmers.
“I wanted to catch up on information, and Gemini introduced me to "Hacker News." I can't read English very well, and I thought it would be convenient to have it translated into Japanese and notified, as I would probably get buried and stop reading with just RSS.”
