📰 techpulse.ai — AI-Powered Tech News Automation

💡 Inspiration

We were inspired by the overwhelming volume of daily tech news and the rise of short-form content consumption. We wanted a platform that keeps people informed—without reading dozens of full articles—and makes tech knowledge accessible across languages and platforms.

⚙️ What it does

techpulse.ai automatically:

• Collects the latest tech news from trusted sources
  
• Summarizes and synthesizes key insights using AI
  
• Translates content into multiple languages
  
• Generates short-form video and text content
  
• Publishes to Facebook Pages, Reels, and YouTube Shorts — fully automated
  

🏗️ How we built it

• Backend: Golang for scalability and concurrency
  
• AI: OpenAI APIs for summarization, synthesis, and translation
  
• News Collection: RSS + custom web scrapers
  
• Video Creation: FFmpeg and text-to-speech APIs, Google Veo 3
  
• Social Posting: Facebook Graph API, YouTube Data API
  
• Task Automation: Cron jobs and message queues (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ)
