AI builders digest — monitors top AI builders on X and YouTube podcasts, remixes their content into digestible summaries. Follow builders, not influencers.

Summary

This project provides an AI-powered digest service that monitors top AI builders on X/Twitter and YouTube podcasts, remixing their content into concise summaries. It targets AI professionals seeking to follow creators actively building products and sharing original insights, rather than generic influencers. The benefit is a curated, daily or weekly feed delivered to preferred messaging apps, saving users time and effort in staying abreast of AI advancements.

How It Works

The system operates via an AI agent (OpenClaw or Claude Code) that fetches a daily central feed. This feed aggregates YouTube transcripts (via Supadata) and X/Twitter posts (via the official API). The agent then processes this raw content, applying user-defined preferences and plain-English prompt files to generate customized summaries. This approach eliminates the need for users to manage API keys or complex configurations, centralizing content fetching and processing.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Requires an AI agent (e.g., OpenClaw, Claude Code). Clone the repository and run npm install in the scripts directory.
• Prerequisites: An AI agent, an internet connection.
• Setup: Conversational setup through the agent, allowing users to specify digest frequency, time, language (English, Chinese, bilingual), and delivery method (Telegram, email, in-chat). No API keys are needed.
• Links: examples/sample-digest.md provides output examples.

Highlighted Details

• Focuses on content from active AI builders, researchers, founders, and engineers.
• Delivers summaries of podcast episodes and key X/Twitter posts.
• Summaries are customizable via conversational commands or direct editing of plain-English prompt files (prompts/).
• Source list (25 AI builders, 5 podcasts) is curated centrally and updates automatically.
• No user-side API keys required; content fetched centrally.

Maintenance & Community

The project is maintained by zarazhangrui. The README lists curated sources but does not provide links to community channels (e.g., Discord, Slack) or detailed contributor information.

Licensing & Compatibility

Licensed under the MIT License, which is generally permissive for commercial use and integration into closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

Dependent on specific AI agent platforms (OpenClaw, Claude Code, or similar). Relies on third-party data sources (Supadata, X API) for content aggregation. User privacy is maintained by storing API keys (for delivery services like Telegram/email) locally and processing only public content. Configuration and history remain on the user's machine.
