It is open source and you host it yourself. “Ei Gude” is Hessian for good morning.<p>Some background: I started this about a year and a half ago and never got back to it, because I became a father and my free time was gone. AI is what changed that. It was the game changer that finally unleashed the project. I listen to my own episodes every day now, so it is useful to me. I’m still at the very beginning, though.<p>What I would love: ideas and feedback, and recommendations for good TTS models. I use Gemini’s TTS today and want to know what else is worth trying for ten-minute episodes, ideally good in German and English, hosted or self-hostable. What do you use?","time":1793804236,"title":"Show HN: AI Gude – my feeds as a daily podcast, revived with AI","type":"story","url":"https://github.com/alex0ptr/aigude"}
