Most Western developers have no idea what's happening in Asian tech. Not because nothing's happening — quite the opposite. The problem is the language barrier.
So I built AsiafeedTech: a fully automated pipeline that ingests, translates, scores, and turns Asian tech news into YouTube Shorts — without any human intervention.
Here's how it works:
The Pipeline
1. RSS Ingestion
25+ sources from China, Japan, Korea and SEA. Runs 3x daily via Spring Boot scheduler.
2. AI Translation & Filtering
Each article goes through Gemini with a carefully crafted prompt that translates, categorises, detects sponsored content, and filters non-tech articles in one call.
3. Viral Scoring
Gemini scores each article 1-10. We add category bonuses (AI +3, EV +2, Robotics +2) to surface the most relevant stories.
4. YouTube Shorts Generation
Top articles → Gemini script → Gemini TTS → Imagen 4.0 images → FFmpeg assembly → Whisper captions → YouTube upload.
The hardest part was getting consistent quality at every step. Each AI call needs precise prompting, output validation, and fallback logic.
