TelegramNewsAI is a local tool designed to aggregate and summarize Telegram channel content, helping users avoid manual feed scrolling. The software monitors approximately 25 subscribed channels and 10 additional public channels without requiring subscriptions. It operates on Windows 10 and 11, storing data locally in an SQLite database.
The system utilizes the Telethon library to access Telegram via user credentials, including API ID and API Hash. For full-text search capabilities, the project employs SQLite FTS5. Users can define specific time periods for data collection or perform targeted searches on specific topics, with the tool generating structured JSON files for AI processing.
The developer emphasizes data privacy by keeping all archives, session files, and credentials locally on the user's machine, protected by Windows DPAPI. The architecture ensures that the AI component remains interchangeable, allowing users to send the generated JSON to various models like ChatGPT for final summarization without losing access to original sources.
Future development plans for the project include creating an Android version and localizing the interface and documentation into English. The source code and Windows releases are publicly available in the project's repository, maintaining a focus on local, independent data management.
