Convert RSS feeds into a podcast with Google Gemini, Kokoro TTS, and FFmpeg

🎧 Daily RSS Digest & Podcast Generation

This workflow automates the creation of a daily sports podcast from your favorite news sources. It fetches articles, uses AI to write a digest and a two-person dialogue, and produces a single, merged audio file with KOKORO TTS ready for listening.

✨ How it works:

📰 Fetch & Filter Daily News: The workflow triggers daily, fetches articles from your chosen RSS feeds, and filters them to keep only the most recent content.

✍️ Generate AI Digest & Script: Using Google Gemini, it first creates a written summary of the day's news. A second AI agent then transforms this news into an engaging, conversational podcast script between two distinct AI speakers.

🗣️ Generate Voices in Chunks: The script is split into individual lines of dialogue. The workflow then loops through each line, calling a Text-to-Speech (TTS) API to generate a separate audio file (an MP3 chunk) for each part of the conversation.

🎛️ Merge Audio with FFmpeg: After all the audio chunks are created and saved locally, a command-line script generates a list of all the files and uses FFmpeg to losslessly merge them into a single, seamless MP3 file. All temporary files are then deleted.

📤 Send the Final Podcast: The final, merged MP3 is read from the server and delivered directly to your Telegram chat with a dynamic, dated filename.
