I've improved the NotebookLM script on my news site: https://alignednews.com/ai
The pattern?
Have my AI agent grab all posts from the AI community here on X via the X API. About 30,000 every day. Costs about $150 a day. This is why lists on X are so important (I have the most complete lists of the tech community here on X by far, and they are all public so you can build your own systems like this).
Then my AI agent, built by @blevlabs and me, analyzes all of them, builds the website above, and it writes a script for NotebookLM, which largely is the same as the essay you see on the top of that page.
At the bottom of the page is a "copy script" button for NotebookLM users. You can copy the script, paste it into NotebookLM, which then can build you a podcast (which I like a lot better than the videos it generates, which I include here from today's script).
It updates three times a day, around 8 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m.
If major news is breaking I update it more often.
Why do I call this a pattern? Because you'll see this pattern used a lot more to build personalized news systems.
Next on the priority list? Get my newsletter to work and send out to the thousands who have subscribed (thank you for being patient).
Unfortunately @beehiiv hasn't turned on automatic posting yet, so am looking at other email systems that can be automated, like @resend.
Eventually I want to turn this into an automatically generated news show with @HeyGen.
Thanks for putting up with my agent that has been spitting out bad links lately, Brayden and I have been working on that behind the scenes to make the system more reliable.
What do you think about the news site? I built it because it is just impossible for anyone to read the 30,000 posts a day that the AI industry generates here on X.
Hope it helps you keep up with the models, papers, robots, company news, events, and more that everyone posts here, but that X itself has made it hard to find due to an inferior search system and an algorithm that only brings a certain kind of post to your ForYou feed, which hides a TON of interesting stuff being shared here.
My lists at https://x.com/scobleizer/lists are getting a LOT more complete and better, been working hard on those and watch them all day long because the quality of the lists (and completeness) makes this whole pattern better.
