ai-twitter-digest

Monitor a curated list of AI/tech Twitter accounts, summarize the day's key posts using an LLM, and deliver a formatted digest to a Discord channel. Use when: (1) setting up a daily automated AI news briefing from Twitter/X, (2) scheduling or running a one-shot Twitter digest to Discord, (3) managing or updating the monitored account list, summarization prompt, or delivery format.

Fetches tweets from AI/tech influencers via the AISA API, summarizes in Chinese using any available LLM (Claude → OpenAI → Gemini, auto-detected), and delivers a two-part digest to Discord:

• Message 1: Text summary with [原文链接] hyperlinks (no embed previews)
• Message 2: Top 5 bare links rendered as Discord card previews

Setup

1. Run the setup wizard (required before first use)

bash

python3 scripts/setup.py

The wizard will:

• Auto-detect API keys from your environment and OpenClaw config
• Prompt for any missing keys (AISA, LLM, Discord channel)
• Test connectivity to AISA and your chosen LLM provider
• Write a .env file — no manual editing needed

If you prefer manual setup, create scripts/.env with the following content:

env

AISA_API_KEY=your_aisa_key_here
DELIVERY_CHANNEL=discord
DELIVERY_TARGET=channel:your_channel_id_here
SUMMARY_LANGUAGE=Chinese
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=
OPENAI_API_KEY=
GEMINI_API_KEY=
# STATE_FILE=~/.ai-twitter-sent.json
# MAX_STORED_IDS=500
# CARD_PREVIEWS=true

Required config:

Variable	Description
AISA_API_KEY	Twitter data — aisa.one
DELIVERY_CHANNEL	discord / whatsapp / telegram / slack / signal
DELIVERY_TARGET	Channel-specific target (see table below)
One of: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY / GEMINI_API_KEY	LLM for summarization
SUMMARY_LANGUAGE	Digest language — Chinese (default), English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, or any language name

Delivery target format:

Channel	Target format	Example
discord	channel:<id>	channel:1234567890
whatsapp	E.164 phone or group:<id>	[phone]
telegram	@username or chat_id	@mychannel
slack	#channel-name	#ai-digest
signal	E.164 phone number	[phone]

Card link previews (CARD_PREVIEWS) are Discord-only and auto-disabled on other channels.

2. Run manually

bash

python3 scripts/monitor.py

3. Schedule with OpenClaw cron

bash

# Daily at 3:30 PM Eastern
openclaw cron add "AI Twitter Digest" "30 15 * * *" \
  "python3 /path/to/ai-twitter-digest/scripts/monitor.py" \
  --timezone "America/New_York"

Customizing Accounts

Edit the ACCOUNTS list in scripts/monitor.py. See references/accounts.md for the default list and suggested additions.

How It Works

1. Fetches up to 20 tweets/account (AI-keyword filtered, with all-tweets fallback)
2. Deduplicates against STATE_FILE (capped at MAX_STORED_IDS)
3. Summarizes with first available LLM provider
4. Posts two Discord messages: text digest + card preview links
5. Updates dedup state file
