(Offline) AutoTLDR bot (self.general)

(bot is offline, got some error that I need to figure out)

hi, just wanted to share a little bot i created which will give you a tldr of link posts (similar to the reddit one.)

Its in its early stages so there may be problems, and its the first time i have used typescript so it probably will have some issues until i figure them out as i go along

trigger it by mentioning "[@[email protected]](https://lemmy.world/u/AutoTLDR)" in a comment for any link post. and it will make a new parent comment with the tldr

i could have it auto comment on all link posts but i would run through the 100 api calls limit quite quickly, i want to see how it does on the free tier before paying for the paid tier

i havent seen one on lemmy anywhere which is why i decided to make one. the api it uses is on a free tier which is limited to 100 calls a day. so please be mindful of not calling it multiple times in one post (still need to figure out that part.)

it also currently only works on lemmy.world (due to the 100 limit). i could pay for the api if it gets enough interest

Once the 100calls limit is reached, the bot will stop responding (I assume) for a day (no idea if that's 24 hours or 12am)

I tried it here, and it didn't do as expected: https://lemmy.ca/post/1394195

Yes just seen, that's embarrassing! I will have to take a look when I can. I have left my desk for today, since it's quite late

I will turn it off if it keeps getting wrong summaries, and work on it some more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It seems to be that site. It was able to generate summaries for other sites.

Is there a way you can get it to include paragraph breaks? It's currently a wall of text.

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown 2 points 1 year ago

Yes will look into adding paragraphs

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Could you create a community for it? It'd be cool to see all the looks it's hitting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's awesome! Thanks!
