Building an autonomous AI Twitter Agent
Blog post from Upstash
An autonomous AI agent has been developed to fetch top stories from Hacker News, generate summaries and cover images, and tweet them using an innovative workflow. The agent utilizes various tools and services, including Upstash Workflow for cost-efficient serverless function orchestration, QStash for scheduling, and Redis for tracking visited stories to avoid duplicates. It employs the Ideogram API to create cover images and uses the twitter-api-v2 package to upload and post tweets. The agent, running every two hours as part of a cron job, is designed to provide concise, engaging content with an illustration related to the article, all while maintaining security and efficiency by only allowing requests signed by QStash. The implementation details are available on GitHub, and followers can observe the agent's activity on X through the handle @hackernewsagent.
