Developer builds AI agent to automate news aggregation and delivery

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer created a background agent named Hermes to automate the process of reading and summarizing news from various RSS feeds and tech blogs. The agent delivers curated digests directly to Telegram, eliminating the need to manually open multiple applications. The development process involved testing each component, including Telegram delivery, feed fetching, and LLM summarization, before integrating them into a full pipeline with systemd timers and SQLite for scheduling. A key challenge involved correctly implementing the scheduling logic to ensure daily digests were sent at specific times rather than based on a rolling cooldown period. AI

IMPACT Automates news consumption by using LLMs for summarization, reducing manual effort for users.
