Introducing Brian RSS: A Personalized Book Summary Feed Powered by AI
Discover a new way to stay inspired and informed about your favorite books with Brian RSS, an innovative RSS feed generator designed to deliver curated, bite-sized insights tailored to your reading interests. Built with the latest AI technology, this project offers daily summaries and audio snippets to help you engage with literature in convenient, accessible formats.
What is Brian RSS?
Brian RSS is a self-hosted solution that transforms your reading list into an engaging, automated daily feed. Each morning at 6 AM UTC, it delivers a brief summary or insightful excerpt from a randomly selected section of your chosen books. To enhance flexibility, the platform also produces an audio version of each summary, allowing you to listen on the go—much like your own personalized podcast.
