📰 newsbot

News in. AI in the middle. Posts out.

A lightweight Python package that automatically turns news into AI-generated posts for X (Twitter).

Everything that makes your bot unique—its personality, news sources, schedule, prompts, and API keys—lives in a single manifest.yaml.

from newsbot import XBot

bot = XBot("manifest.yaml")
bot.run()

That's it.

newsbot loads your manifest, fetches the latest headlines, generates content using your preferred LLM, and publishes directly to X.

No boilerplate. No frameworks. No GitHub Actions.

Run it anywhere Python runs:

  • Cron jobs
  • Flask / FastAPI
  • AWS Lambda
  • Discord bots
  • Background workers
  • Your own scripts

✨ Why newsbot?

Most AI news bots are a collection of scripts that you fork and customize for every account.

newsbot takes a different approach.

The package stays the same.

Everything account-specific lives inside a single manifest.yaml.

That means you can run:

  • One package
  • Ten manifests
  • Ten completely different bots

without changing a single line of Python.
