Automated daily AI news digest powered by Claude Code's `/loop` feature. Posts bilingual digests (English + Traditional Chinese) to Slack `#update-vibe`.
Two digest types:
- **News Digest** — Web news across 6 AI categories
- **YouTube Digest** — Video summaries from [@AIDailyBrief](https://www.youtube.com/@AIDailyBrief) with PDF exports
## Demo

1. Install Python dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
2. Install system dependencies:

| `yt-dlp` | Fetch YouTube videos & metadata | `pip install yt-dlp` |
| `ffmpeg` | Audio extraction for Whisper | [ffmpeg.org](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html) |
| `google-chrome` | Headless PDF generation | [chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/) |
| `b2` | Backblaze B2 CLI for uploads | `pip install b2` |
3. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in credentials:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
4. Required environment variables:
| Variable | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` | Slack Bot Token (`xoxb-...`) with `chat:write` scope |
| `SLACK_CHANNEL_ID` | Channel ID for `#update-vibe` |
| `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` | (Optional) Webhook fallback |
| `B2_KEY_ID` | Backblaze B2 key ID (for YT digest PDF uploads) |

```
## Usage
### News Digest
```bash
/ai-news-digest-news # Run once
/loop 24h /ai-news-digest-news # Run every 24h
```
Searches 6 AI news categories via WebSearch, fetches articles, deduplicates against previous runs, and posts a bilingual summary to Slack.
### YouTube Digest
```bash
/ai-news-digest-yt # Run once
/loop 24h /ai-news-digest-yt # Run every 24h
```
Pipeline:
1. Fetch recent videos from @AIDailyBrief (last 48h)
2. Extract transcripts (subtitles → Whisper fallback)
3. Claude generates bilingual summaries (EN + zh-TW)
4. Build HTML → PDF via headless Chrome
5. Upload PDFs to Backblaze B2 (presigned URLs, 7-day expiry)
6. Post digest with summaries + PDF links to Slack
