news-summarizer.vercel.app

This project summarizes news articles for you using AI.

How it works

This project uses the OpenAI GPT-3 API (specifically, text-davinci-003) and Vercel Edge functions with streaming. It fetches the content on a article, sends it in a prompt to the GPT-3 API to summarize it via a Vercel Edge function, then streams the response back to the application.

Saving costs

Projects like this can get expensive so in order to save costs if you want to make your own version and share it publicly, I recommend three things:

1. Implement rate limiting so people can't abuse your site
2. Implement caching to avoid expensive AI re-generations
3. Use text-curie-001 instead of text-dacinci-003 in the summarize edge function

I'm going to be implementing 1 & 2 for this repo very soon so keep an eye out on that!

Running Locally

After cloning the repo, go to OpenAI to make an account and put your API key in a file called .env.

Then, run the application in the command line and it will be available at http://localhost:3000.

npm run dev
