AI News Ticker

A small Python service that checks AI lab blogs, tech news and the labs' accounts on X every 15 minutes, scores each story for whether it is a real model release or major news, and posts up to five at a time to a Slack channel.

It does not write summaries or claim to verify a story; it links the source. It uses only the Python standard library and remembers what it has posted in SQLite, so nothing shows up twice. A failed post stays queued for the next run.

How it runs

• A GitHub Actions schedule every 15 minutes, or on demand
• Sources: OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Google AI, TechCrunch AI, a news search for AI labs, and X for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta AI, xAI and Mistral AI
• X is read through public RSS feeds, so no X API key is needed
• The Slack app only needs permission to post
