Substack AI Summarizer

A web app that helps you manage your Substack reading list by providing AI-generated summaries of articles from authors you subscribe to. The app uses web crawling to fetch artcles from your Substack inbox https://substack.com/inbox and uses OpenAI's GPT-3.5 API to generate a summary for each article. This way you can get a quick overview of what's new on your Substack inbox and dive deeper into the most important artcles only. If you are like me and have a huge Substack inbox, this app is a great time saver.

Features

• View your Substack Inbox with AI generated summaries
• Dive into the original, full article with the provided link as needed

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Constraints

At thos point (December 2024) Substack does not expose a public API. Substack exposes a RSS /feed endpoint for each blog. However there is no RSS feed for the inbox, which is the use case this app covers.

Respect the Authors

• Data sent to OpenAI's API is not used for model training as stated in the privacy policy.
