Are you passionate about reading and constantly seeking fresh content related to your favorite books? Today, I’m excited to share a project that combines Artificial Intelligence with personalized content delivery — meet Brian RSS, an innovative RSS feed generator designed to keep book lovers inspired and informed.
What is Brian RSS?
Brian RSS is a dynamic tool that creates customized RSS feeds centered around your preferred books and reading interests. Powered by AI, it curates bite-sized summaries and insights from your reading list, offering daily inspiration delivered directly to your feed. Additionally, each entry is converted into an audio snippet, allowing you to listen on the go—making your book exploration more accessible and engaging.
The Name Behind the Innovation
Fun fact: ‘Brian’ is an anagram of 🧠 ‘brain,’ symbolizing the project’s focus on intelligent content curation and mental stimulation.
Key Features
- Personalized Content: Input your favorite books, and Brian RSS will generate snippets, insights, or summaries from random sections within those texts.
- Audio Integration: Each update comes with an audio version, transforming written insights into quick, listenable formats akin to short podcasts.
- Automated Updates: The feed refreshes daily at 6 AM UTC, ensuring you receive new content every morning.
- Self-Hosting: Built to operate seamlessly within your own infrastructure via Docker, giving you full control and privacy.
