Daily News Podcast 🎙️📰
This is a submission for the Agent.ai Challenge: Productivity-Pro Agent
What I Built
I created an AI-powered Daily News Podcast agent that automatically generates a concise, up-to-date audio podcast on any global topic within minutes. The agent transforms the complex world of current events into an easily digestible audio experience, making staying informed effortless and convenient.
Key features of the Daily News Podcast agent include:
- Dynamic topic selection based on user input
- Real-time news aggregation from Google News
- AI-powered script generation using the latest news data
- Automatic audio podcast creation
Why did I build this? In our fast-paced world, staying informed is crucial, but finding time to read extensive news articles can be challenging. This agent provides a quick, accessible way to consume current events during commutes, workouts, or any spare moment.
