X Weekly Brief

Weekly X Brief is a cloud-native solution that automatically collects, analyses and summarises X content from a curated source list. The system produces a single, concise weekly digest that highlights significant current affairs, notable news, political trends and thematic developments - delivering deep insight and valuable retrospection.

Goals

• Deliver Actionable News Insights:
  Identify and summarise key stories, influential voices and emergent trends from selected news and political sources.

• Retrospective Weekly Digest:

Implementation

• Curated Account List:
  Maintains and updates a targeted list of public X accounts representing key newsmakers, commentators, organisations and political entities.

• Automated Weekly Collection:
  Utilises AWS Lambda, triggered by EventBridge, to fetch and aggregate relevant tweets from the chosen accounts once per week, staying within X's API usage limits.

• AI-driven Summarisation:
  Applies Amazon Bedrock large language models to process collected content, extract major themes and generate a concise natural language summary focusing on both newsworthy events and political narratives.

• Automated Distribution:
  Compiles and delivers the weekly summary through automated email, SMS or other notification systems using AWS SNS or SES.

• Privacy & Compliance:
  Limits data handling to analysed summaries and upholds X's data/privacy usage requirements.
