Introducing: Personalized Book Summaries with Brian RSS — Your Daily Literary Inspiration
Are you a passionate reader eager to stay updated with fresh insights from your favorite books? We’re excited to showcase a powerful new tool designed for book lovers and lifelong learners alike: Brian RSS. This innovative project seamlessly delivers curated literary content straight to your RSS reader, combining the power of AI with audio convenience to enrich your reading journey.
What is Brian RSS?
Brian RSS is a personalized RSS feed generator that crafts daily summaries and insights from your selected reading list. Utilizing AI technology, it extracts interesting sections or highlights from your preferred books every day. To enhance accessibility and convenience, each entry is also converted into an audio clip, allowing you to listen to bite-sized book excerpts on the go, much like a personalized podcast.
The name “Brian” is a playful anagram of “🧠 brain,” emphasizing its focus on intelligent, bite-sized learning.
Core Features:
- Customized Content: Feed your reading list and receive daily, randomized summaries or insights from your chosen books.
- Audio Integration: Each summary is transformed into an audio snippet, making it easy to enjoy content during commutes or workouts.
- Automated Updates: The feed refreshes automatically at 6 AM UTC, providing fresh material every day.
- Self-Hosting Capability: The system runs independently via Docker, giving you full control over your setup.
Origins and Open Source
Originally developed for personal motivation and exploration, Brian RSS was later released as an open-source project to empower others to create personalized learning feeds. You can experience it firsthand through my personal RSS endpoint: brian.achris.me/rss.
