Inspiration

News outlets are non-interactive leaving the user to wander around before picking the right story to read.

What it does

Interactive AI News Briefer reads RSS feeds from news outlets, converts them into prompts readable by GPT-4 and allows the user to ask questions and be guided to the right article.

How we built it

Built using VoiceFlow, an external RSS XML to JSON converter, some JavaScript and GPT-4 prompts.

Challenges we ran into

GPT-4 overanalyzed the RSS feed metadata and often misinterpreted it as important. To fix this, I had to strip away the metadata and put only the story titles and descriptions into the GPT-4 prompt.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Simple prompt sentence guides GPT-4 to concentrate only on the news stories and not offer generic information. Also, without external programmed components I managed to feed the RSS feed and convert it to JSON, then with 5-6 lines of JavaScript code inside VoiceFlow, I stripped the irrelevant part of the feed.

What we learned

How to use VoiceFlow and build GPT/AI applications for chatting with the user.

What's next for Interactive AI News Briefer

I need to get some news outlet to incorporate the VoiceFlow plugin and then code requests to the news site (via API) to open the desired article for the user.
