📡 Your own AI-powered news radar. Generates daily briefings in English & Chinese. | 用 AI 构建你专属的新闻雷达
Horizon is a Python-based news aggregation pipeline that fetches content from Hacker News, Reddit, Telegram, RSS feeds, Twitter/X, GitHub releases, and OpenBB financial watchlists, then uses a configurable LLM to score each item from 0 to 10 before assembling a ranked daily briefing. Claude is one of several supported models alongside GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Ollama-compatible APIs, all accessed through their respective APIs rather than Claude Code or MCP. The tool deduplicates stories that appear across multiple platforms, enriches items with web-researched background context, and appends summarized community discussions from Hacker News and Reddit comment threads. Finished briefings can be published as a GitHub Pages site in both English and Chinese, delivered via a self-hosted SMTP email newsletter with automatic subscribe and unsubscribe handling, or pushed to Feishu, DingTalk, Slack, Discord, or custom webhooks. A setup wizard generates a personalized source configuration from stated interests. The primary audience is developers and technically inclined readers who want a self-hosted, fully customizable alternative to commercial news digests.

## Why Horizon?
Good news is scattered; bad news is endless. Horizon gives you a personal first pass over Hacker News, Reddit, Telegram, RSS, and GitHub: it fetches, deduplicates, scores, filters, and enriches stories with background context and community discussion.
But Horizon is not just another summarizer. AI is great at reducing noise, but news still needs human taste: the sources you trust, the comments that change how you read a story, and the hidden gems only people can share. Horizon keeps that human layer in the loop with customizable sources, thresholds, models, languages, delivery channels, comment summaries, and a community source hub.
## Features
- **📡 Watch Your Own Sources** — Track Hacker News, RSS, Reddit, Telegram, Twitter/X, GitHub releases or user activity, and OpenBB financial news watchlists in one pipeline
- **🤖 Turn Noise Into a Reading List** — Score each item from 0-10 with Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Doubao, MiniMax, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible API
- **🔗 Merge Repeated Stories** — Deduplicate the same story across platforms before it reaches your briefing
- **🔍 Understand the Background** — Add web-researched context for unfamiliar concepts, companies, projects, and technical terms
- **💬 Read the Conversation** — Collect and summarize community comments from Hacker News, Reddit, and other supported sources
- **🌐 Publish in Two Languages** — Generate English and Chinese daily briefings from the same source set
- **📝 Ship a Daily Site** — Publish generated Markdown as a GitHub Pages daily briefing site
- **📧 Deliver by Email** — Run a self-hosted SMTP/IMAP newsletter with automatic subscribe and unsubscribe handling
- **🔔 Push to Chat or Automations** — Send templated results to Feishu/Lark, DingTalk, Slack, Discord, or custom webhook endpoints
- **🧙 Start From Your Interests** — Use the setup wizard to generate a personalized source configuration
- **⚙️ Tune the Radar** — Customize sources, thresholds, models, languages, and delivery channels from one JSON config

3. **Deduplicate** — Merge items pointing to the same story or URL across platforms.
4. **Score & Filter** — Use AI to rank items and keep only those above your threshold.
5. **Enrich** — Search the web for background context and collect community discussion for important items.
6. **Summarize** — Generate a structured Markdown briefing with summaries, tags, and references.

## Quick Start
### 1. Install
**Option A: Local Installation**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Thysrael/Horizon.git
cd Horizon
# Install with uv (recommended)
uv sync
# Install test/development extras when needed
uv sync --extra dev
# Or with pip
pip install -e .
```
`dev` is currently defined as an optional extra in `pyproject.toml`, so use `uv sync --extra dev` for pytest and other development dependencies.
If you want the optional OpenBB financial-news source, install its extra too:
```bash
uv sync --extra openbb
```
If `openbb` pulls packages without wheels on your machine, install the SDK manually with binaries only:
```bash
uv pip install --only-binary=:all: openbb openbb-benzinga
```
**Option B: Docker**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Thysrael/Horizon.git
cd Horizon
# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
cp data/config.example.json data/config.json
# Edit .env and data/config.json with your API keys and preferences
# Run with Docker Compose
docker compose run --rm horizon
# Or run with custom time window
docker compose run --rm horizon --hours 48
```
### 2. Configure
**Option A: Interactive wizard (recommended)**
```bash
uv run horizon-wizard
```
The wizard asks about your interests (e.g. "LLM inference", "嵌入式", "web security") and auto-generates `data/config.json`.
**Option B: Manual configuration**
```bash
cp .env.example .env # Add your API keys
cp data/config.example.json data/config.json # Customize your sources
```
Minimal manual configuration:
```jsonc
{
"ai": {
"provider": "openai",
"model": "gpt-4",
"api_key_env": "OPENAI_API_KEY"
},
"sources": {
"rss": [
{ "name": "Simon Willison", "url": "https://simonwillison.net/atom/everything/" }
]
},
"filtering": {
"ai_score_threshold": 6.0
}
}
```
**Balanced digest (optional)**
Limit the final digest size and prevent one category from dominating the
results. Categories come from source configuration such as
`sources.rss[].category`.
```jsonc
{
"filtering": {
"ai_score_threshold": 6.0,
"max_items": 20,
"category_groups": {
"ai": {
"limit": 5,
"categories": ["ai-news", "ai-tools", "machine-learning"]
},
"finance": {
"limit": 5,
"categories": ["finance", "business", "equities"]
}
},
"default_group": "other",
"default_group_limit": 3
