An AI news pipeline running on a VPS. It collects boxing news from sources in many languages and turns each one into a ready English draft in WordPress.
{The problem}
An English boxing news site lives on speed. The news, though, appears across sites in English, Polish, German, Spanish and more, and each story had to be handled by hand. [Add how long one article used to take.]
{The solution}
Machines do the repetitive work around the clock. The editor keeps the final say: every story ends as a draft, not a published post.
19 news sites, checked first by a diagnostics tool for RSS, robots.txt and blocking.
Three accounts are polled for short FLASH posts with their own one-paragraph format.
Trafilatura pulls the article text, duplicates are dropped and everything lands in SQLite.
A push on the phone via ntfy or Telegram lists the new titles.
Claude rewrites the story in English and returns tags, a metadata decision and a brief as JSON.
Code builds the metadata block, picks the background and flags style problems for the editor.
The finished post goes to WordPress as a draft. The editor reviews it and publishes.
{Key idea}
The model returns plain JSON: a title, paragraphs, tags, a metadata decision and a brief. Code then does everything that has to be exactly right. It inserts separators, builds the metadata block, picks the background image and rejects briefs that break the site's rules. The model never writes URLs.
| {Model} | {Code} |
|---|---|
| Rewrites the facts in English | Inserts paragraph separators |
| Chooses the news type and division | Validates them and builds the metadata block |
| Names the city or country | Picks the matching background image |
| Writes the three-level brief | Rejects a brief that breaks the site rules |
| Flags a possible duplicate | Lints style: dashes, records, weight classes |
{Output}

{Panel}
The panel is a PWA built mainly for the phone, with bottom navigation, filters in a sheet and a reader with actions under the thumb. On desktop it adds an image editor for 400×131 backgrounds and 200×250 fighter photos.
{In the panel}
{Guardrails}
No new information, down to round numbers, scores and venues.
Main fighters get their record from the boxer database, never from the model's memory, and never with KO counts.
Weight class names, capital Champion, no dashes, no quotation marks in titles.
Every request is counted by tokens, so the panel shows what is left on the account.
