someone build a farcaster bot that posts summaries of new releases of your github package automatically, potentially with AI expansion

cc @polluterofminds maybe adapt what you already built? 👀

I’ve seen people request this type of thing a lot. The problem is no one wants to pay for it and AI-generated summaries cost too much to run such a bot for free. That said, the code is there ready to rock and roll when someone wants to pay 😂

I’m assuming the cost you’re referring to is deriving changes from the git patches? What if you generate it from change sets?

The cost is from running the changes through OpenAI or similar API to get a summary that can be posted to social media. A single purpose bot focused on one repo wouldn’t be too expensive but if it’s used for a bunch of repos, it gets costly quick

But what is being fed to the OpenAI API that’s so expensive? Changesets can’t be that many tokens?

Ah, in the app I built it was commit messages. So, could be a lot, could be a little. And the frequency of merges matters. In testing, some devs merged to main many times per day with many commits per merge. Compound that across 10, 15, 20 devs and it’s already something you can’t run for free

What if you ask for an AI API key from the github repo owner when they setup the bot?

That would be a good way to make it free (for the bot developer: me). Nice idea
