myGPTReader

myGPTReader is a slack bot that can read any webpage, ebook or document and summarize it with chatGPT. It can also talk to you via voice using the content in the channel.

The exciting part is that the development of this project is also paired with chatGPT. I document the development process in this CDDR file.

Main Features

  • Stay updated with the latest news summaries daily with chatGPT.
  • Use chatGPT to read and provide a summary of any webpage, ebook, or document.
  • Enjoy customizable prompt templates that use context from previous conversations with chatGPT.
  • Practice speaking languages by conversing with chatGPT using your voice.

Please join this slack channel to experience all these features for free.

TODO List

  • Integrated with slack bot
    • Bot replies messages in the same thread
  • Support web page reading with chatGPT
  • Support RSS reading with chatGPT
    • RSS is a bunch of links, so it is equivalent to reading a web page to get the content.
  • Support newsletter reading with chatGPT
    • Most newsletters are public and can be accessed online, so we can just give the url to the slack bot.
  • Prompt fine-tue
    • Support for custom prompt
    • Show prompt templates by slack app slash commands
    • Auto collect the good prompt to #gpt-prompt channel by message shortcut
  • Cost saving
    • by caching the web page llama index
      • Consider to use sqlite-vss to store and search the text embeddings
      • Use chromadb to store and search the text embeddings
      • Use the llama index file to restore the index
    • Consider to use sentence-transformers or txtai to generate embeddings (vectors)
      • Not good as the embeddings of OpenAI, rollback to use the OpenAI embeddings, and if enable to use the custom embeddings, the minimum of server's memory is 2GB which still increase the cost.
    • Consider to fine-tue the chunk size of index node and prompt to save the cost
      • If the chunk size is too big, it will cause the index node to be too large and the cost will be high.
  • Bot can read historical messages from the same thread, thus providing context to chatGPT
  • Index fine-tune
    • Use the GPTListIndex to summarize multiple URLs
    • Use the GPTTreeIndex with summarize mode to summarize a single web page
  • Bot regularly send hot summarizes(expensive cost) news in the slack channel (#daily-news)
    • Use chatGPT to summarize the hot news
    • Refer to this approach
      • World News
        • Zhihu daily hot answers
        • V2EX daily hot topics
        • 1point3acres daily hot topics
