A community-driven way to read and chat with AI bots - powered by chatGPT.
A Slack bot that reads web pages, PDFs, ebooks, and YouTube videos then lets you chat about them using ChatGPT. Includes voice conversation support and a daily hot news digest pulled from RSS feeds. Built in 2023 at the height of the ChatGPT hype wave.
Broad content ingestion — handles URLs, PDFs, DOCX, ebooks, and YouTube transcripts in one bot. Voice chat with multi-language support (Chinese, English, German, Japanese) is a non-trivial addition that most similar tools skipped. The CDDR (Chat-Driven Development Record) doc is a genuinely interesting artifact — the author used ChatGPT to help build the project and logged the whole process, which makes for useful reading on real LLM-assisted dev workflows.
Self-hosting instructions are literally marked 'WIP' with no completion date — you either join their Slack or figure it out yourself from the Dockerfile and Fly.io config. Hardcoded to GPT-3.5 turbo era assumptions; the prompt architecture hasn't been revisited for newer models and likely underperforms. No real persistence layer visible — user context and conversation history appear to live in-process, meaning a restart wipes everything. Last meaningful development looks to have stopped in 2023; the February 2026 push date on GitHub is misleading given the commit activity.
