Built with Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui components, OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini for intelligent summarization, Mediastack API for news data aggregation, and Upstash Redis for caching and rate limiting, this platform solves the problem of information overload by providing quick, clear summaries tailored to individual user preferences. The application features a personalized news feed that adapts to user interests and reading habits, AI-generated concise summaries that distill articles to their essential points, access to trusted global news sources ensuring credible information, in-depth AI article analysis for deeper understanding of complex topics, a responsive, user-friendly interface that works seamlessly across all devices, and intelligent caching with Upstash Redis for fast load times and rate limiting. Deployed on Google Cloud Run with support for Vercel, Netlify, and AWS Amplify, Epigram uses the Exa API for AI-powered news summarization and recommends periodic news data refresh via cron jobs to keep content current. The platform is designed for busy professionals who want to stay informed without spending hours reading, students and researchers needing quick overviews of current events, anyone overwhelmed by the volume of daily news across multiple sources, readers who prefer personalized content over generic news feeds, and people seeking credible, summarized information from reliable sources. This project demonstrates how to build intelligent content aggregation platforms, implement AI-powered text summarization at scale, integrate multiple APIs for data enrichment, design personalized recommendation systems, and optimize performance with Redis caching. Epigram makes staying informed effortless by cutting through the noise and delivering what matters most to each user.
