The bot just makes use of:
As posts come in on a news community (via LemmyBot), I grab the url and pass it to smmry, and reply. And that’s it.
Update June 22, 2023: I’ll probably stop using SMMRY as it’s pretty buggy and not usable ~20% of the time. I’m thinking about using a headless browser (like Selenium), grabbing the text, and using GPT to analyze and summarize the text. I need to try this out and guesstimate the pricing for it.
SMMRY kinda sucks when using the URL mode. It’ll sometimes grab the gdpr cookie message and summarize that, or it’ll grab weird metadata.
