A Python-based automated X (Twitter) bot that monitors a Turkish news RSS feed, summarizes recent articles using OpenAI GPT-4o, and posts concise, neutral news tweets on an hourly basis.
This project is an automated news bot designed to share short, readable summaries of current news. It periodically fetches articles from a Turkish RSS feed, selects one item published within the previous hour, and uses OpenAI GPT-4o to generate a brief, neutral Turkish summary suitable for social media. The bot then formats and posts the result directly to X (Twitter).
The system focuses on timing accuracy, language correctness, and political neutrality rather than engagement optimization.
