I'm developing a personalized videos generator. This simple version will send you an email daily on the topics that you select from medium. It uses Amazon Polly to read the title and subtitle of the first 3 posts written in english per tag. It then combines all the videos into a single one and uploads it to YouTube as unlisted so that only you can see it.

I believe that soon, in around 2 years, we will have a lot of engaging content (blog posts, images, videos) created and maintained by bots. The main application I see to having bots generating engaging content is education. A lot of content creator are educators themselves but they cannot make all the videos people want, it just doesn't scale. We need to give to any person the opportunity to watch a video generated on demand with the same quality as the Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell videos and in virtually any language.

What are your thoughts? Do you know about anybody else working on the same things?

Thanks for taking the time to read this. And please subscribe!
