Extracts posts from BlueSky, summarizes them with ChatGPT, and plays them via voice on a smart speaker connected to Home Assistant
Turn your favorite posts into speakable summaries and enjoy them effortlessly.
Staying informed with the latest BlueSky posts while juggling a busy schedule isn’t easy. Manually scanning through dozens of updates, summarizing relevant news, and making it accessible to your household—or just to yourself—takes valuable time and mental energy. Without automation, you risk missing out on key developments, sacrificing your productivity, or simply letting important news slip through the cracks—costing you both information awareness and peace of mind.
This Botize formula brings you fully automated news intelligence: it periodically fetches new posts based on themes you choose from BlueSky, summarizes the essential information in your preferred language using ChatGPT, and then reads out loud the highlights through your selected smart speaker in Home Assistant. You remain in complete control—customize source filters, active hours, and the output device to fit your daily rhythm, ensuring exactly what you need is delivered, when and where you want it. The transformation? Going from scattered browsing and manual catch-up sessions to hands-free, distilled news, keeping your household or workspace effortlessly up-to-date.
Ready to reclaim your time and raise your information IQ at home? Follow the simple step-by-step setup with Botize—no coding skills required. If you want instant results, use this formula directly and tweak the frequency, filters, and speaker settings to your needs. Let’s make staying informed a frictionless part of your routine!
