I’m using Feedly (google reader clone) to keep track of my news. However, there are tons of duplicates (same event/topic different sources).
I was just thinking about using text summaries + similarity analysis (possible AI driven) to cluster groups of articles. Are there already solutions for that? I could build it myself, but I’m not exactly the best web dev.

I wish there something like that for RSS feeds. That would be fantastic.
For news specifically, Google News and Ground.news both aggregate and cluster similar news articles.
This came to my attention recently via someone I follow on Mastodon. I haven’t set time aside yet to set it up and try it out but since I heard about ChatGPT, etc, I thought this would be an excellent use of the tech.
That’s pretty much, what I hoped for, but too closed for my taste. I can’t define my own feed to summarize, for example.
(and I don’t get any German news, which is a bummer if you actually live in Germany)
I actually wrote to the author, not being from the US too, and they said they are working on a version where you can specify your country/location. Nothing about adding your news sources, though
Proprietary so it’s a long shot but maybe start a convo w/ the creator of Boring Report as a last ditch effort perhaps.
I use the Nextcloud news app which is a RSS feed reader. But mainly because I run a Nextcloud instance anyways. For news only I would not install Nextcloud - too much overhead.
