Inspiration
Email Newsletters have shown a great potential for audiences creation and revenue generation trough paid subscriptions. Companies and individuals need curated media information to make better strategic decisions; access to information is key in decisions making. Nowadays there are big volumes of information and it becomes hard to follow up tendencies - a time consuming task. I thought I can use Modzy's models to provide intelligence to curated newsletter and decided to create a newsletter service that will save peoples time, while keeping them informed on news and social media topics.
What it does
on.Track’s Media Monitoring Newsletter let users explore information and monitor any topic on news and social media, taking advantage of AI generated summaries, topics segmentation, sentiment polarity, people on text, locations etc., to stay on track of your stuff and make informed decisions.
How I built it
The service is built the Serverless Framework and hosted on AWS. It is activated through a Webhook after a purchase is made in a payment service. The Webhook contains the Query requested by the user. The TwitterAPI and NewsAPI are used to collect data and send it to Modzy to process the text using the following models:
this.models = {
"TopicsModelling": {
id: "m8z2mwe3pt",
version: "0.0.1"
},
"Sentiment": {
id: "ed542963de",
version: "1.0.1"
},
"Summarization": {
id: "rs2qqwbjwb",
version: "0.0.2"
},
"Entities": {
id: "a92fc413b5",
version: "0.0.11"
}
}
Once the Modzy's jobs are done, the information is prepared and sent to the subscriber via email. A cron job is responsible of repeating the processes every 7 days. On this manner, the subscriber will be able to have access to a customized curated news powered by artificial intelligence.
Challenges I ran into
I think the hardest task was to define the data structures that will deliver information that could be formatted into an email template
Accomplishments that I'am proud of
I am proud of actually submit a project that is actually ready for business. It has a payment gate, a subscription management system, it works with any Query and it brings value through state of the art artificial intelligence.
What I learned
I learned that I can focus myself on innovation and value delivery leveraging Modzy models on my applications.
What's next for on.Track - AI curated newsletters for informed decisions
I would like to have feedback about the solution to see if automated email newsletters powered by AI, bring value to subscribers.
