Introducing Brian RSS: A Personalized RSS Feed Curated from Your Favorite Books
Are you passionate about reading and eager to stay inspired daily? We’re excited to showcase a unique project that brings together the power of Artificial Intelligence and the convenience of RSS feeds—introducing Brian RSS.
What is Brian RSS?
Brian RSS is an innovative tool designed to generate customized RSS feeds centered around your preferred books. By leveraging AI, it crafts daily snippets—short summaries or insights—from your reading list, creating a convenient way to absorb bibliographic knowledge in small, digestible pieces. Additionally, each entry comes with an audio recording, transforming your feed into a mini-podcast, perfect for listening on-the-go.
Why the Name ‘Brian’?
A fun tidbit: the name ‘Brian’ is an anagram of ‘🧠 brain,’ emphasizing the intelligent and personalized nature of this project.

- Self-Hosted Deployment: Easily run your own version via Docker, ensuring data privacy and full control over your feed.
