Hey, we're working on this!

You have to add articles yourself and it does not have any special logic for HN threads yet.

This is very cool, for sure. But what I'm looking for is something that is super optimized for threaded conversations, like this site. Imagine if each poster were a unique voice, and the format was basically listening to all of the top conversations for a given post, in a way that makes it easy to follow the conversation and back-and-forth from the threads. There would clearly need to be a little bit of design applied and some simplification, but I think that's where some GPT element could come into create a simplified conversation with a condensed amount of speakers.

Interesting, I think the point about processing with GPT is important. Our thing started as naive narration but many articles are hard to follow when simply narrated.

Would be cool to use the username as a seed so that the voice is the same every time for a poster that frequents the auto-cast.

You may learn something from my experience building the same thing: https://www.joshbeckman.org/narro/

Thanks, this is very valuable. I sent an email.

AI is refactoring everything

Do you know how this site works? and it seems stopped updating.

Sorry, just did remember that this was on the front page some time ago.
