GroupMe Bot - News, X & Statuses?

[Dev-in-the-BM_2.0]

I made a bot that gets articles from Matzav, uses AI to summarize it, and posts it on GroupMe.

It only gets the articles that are in their Torah World and Jewish Community categories, so it only posts news that are related to the frum world.

Its almost ready to go public, I’m just finishing the debugging and polishing it off, but I need a name for the bot and the group it will be posting to.

So far I was thinking of Mikvah Nayis, Not Just Lakewood, and What the Hock, but there’s just something about those names that don’t really…

Anyone has any better suggestions for a name for it?

@Dev-in-the-BM_2.0

BTW, I built the bot with a modular design, so it’s very easy to adapt.

I can easily build another bot that pulls content from a RSS feed or from a simple API. If anyone has any ideas for other sites or APIs with quality content that I can hook a bot up to, I’m open to suggestions.

Anyone?

Any suggestions?

No one has anything that they would want to access via SMS?

WhatsApp statuses?

X threads?

BTW that is Exactly what SK News is.

Its bots taking News from Matziv and YWN and Sending it via SMS.

Aha.
So I bring you to this forum, and the first thing you do is comment on the bot that I worked so hard on, that you have your own, and here’s the link to join?

Kidding.

I really don’t care.
I already knew about a similar group beforehand, probably works the same way as yours.

And I only started building my bot this week.

Is there an interest in a group that posts free giveaways from Imzist?

• Yes
• No

Ummm, just trying to Help - If you want, I can give you access to the SK News, you have my number…

[Dev-in-the-BM_2.0]

I’m just joking around .

[Dev-in-the-BM_2.0]

Not bad.

I assumed that your chat was the same idea as bz’s Kosher News, which is just a clever IFTTT automation, but looks like you went fancier than that.

Mine is a scraper scraping data from the websites followed by a google script sending the data to ai to summarize and finally posting it, any requests?

[Shalom_Karr]

I Used Parse Hub which allows five free projects per account, and I use the API to run the scrape every five minutes and check if the data changed from the last time

@Shalom_Karr

run the scrape every five minutes and check if the data changed from the last time

Where are you running it?

I’m using Github Actions.

[Shalom_Karr]

I use Googe Apps Script

I made a thread for general GroupMe questions

@Shalom_Karr

I use Googe Apps Script

I’m using Python, can’t use Google Scipts for that.

The automated signup number is running in Google Scripts.

[Shalom_Karr]

I use JavaScript

[Shalom_Karr]

Wait the API allows adding people to chats again?

[Dev-in-the-BM_2.0]

When didn’t it?

[Dev-in-the-BM_2.0]

How else would Gort work?

[Shalom_Karr]

For a while it Stopped working and GORT stopped working

@Dev-in-the-BM_2.0

WhatsApp statuses?

X threads?

You can pull from WhatsApp?

[Dev-in-the-BM_2.0]

There are unofficial 3rd party API’s.
