一个基于 AI 的 Hacker News 中文播客项目,每天自动抓取 Hacker News 热门文章,通过 AI 生成中文总结并转换为播客内容。

What it solves

It automates the creation of a daily Chinese-language podcast based on trending topics from Hacker News, removing the need for users to manually browse and summarize technical news.

How it works

The system follows a four-step automated pipeline:

  1. Data Collection: It periodically scrapes trending articles from Hacker News.
  2. AI Summarization: It uses the OpenAI API to generate concise Chinese summaries and podcast scripts from the articles and their comments.
  3. Audio Generation: It converts the generated text into speech using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology.
  4. Distribution: The final audio files are stored in Cloudflare R2 and KV, then distributed via a website and RSS feeds to platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

Who it’s for

Chinese-speaking developers and tech enthusiasts who want to stay updated on Hacker News trends via audio format.
