In plain English

RSS Reader AI Bot is a Telegram bot that turns a pile of RSS feed articles into short, personalized audio briefings. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of unread posts, you get a compact daily digest that fits into a few minutes of listening. The bot processes each incoming article and produces a three part summary: a single headline that captures the main point, a short bulleted digest of the key takeaways, and any concrete stats or figures pulled from the article. It uses a model called gpt-oss-120b to generate these summaries on the fly rather than making you read the raw web page. On top of the text summaries, the bot compiles your unread feeds into a daily audio briefing of about three minutes, using Edge-TTS text to speech technology, so you can listen to your news during a commute or over breakfast instead of reading it. The bot supports feeds in English, Persian, Spanish, and Russian, automatically translating and delivering summaries in whichever language you prefer. You manage your folders, subscriptions, and how often feeds sync (every 30 minutes, every 2 hours, or manually) through an inline dashboard built directly into the Telegram chat interface. Getting started is simple: open the bot on Telegram, send the start command, then import an OPML file of your existing subscriptions or add feeds one at a time, and set how often you want new content pulled in. The README does not mention a license, so it is not clear what usage rights apply beyond using the hosted Telegram bot itself. There is also no information here about self-hosting the bot or running your own copy, so as described this project is really a hosted service you access through Telegram rather than code you would deploy yourself.
