About TotemoTech
TotemoTech is a computer-generated daily podcast delivering tech news from Japan with minimal human bias. The podcast uses AI to produce news summaries that are then converted into human-sounding speech. Episodes are concise, lasting only 2 minutes, making them easy to digest and perfect for listeners to enjoy while performing other daily activities. One recent episode from July 17, 2024, covers high stroke mortality rates in ramen-rich prefectures and the intriguing launch of OM SYSTEM's new product, the 'OM SYSTEM Curry.' Other recent topics include the struggles of a Toyota startup during the pandemic, the summer sensation anime 'Shikanokono Kono Koko Shitan Tan,' and Nikon's release of the new Z6III camera, notable for its improved autofocus and viewfinder. The podcast leverages various technologies, including the OpenAI API for English-language summaries, ElevenLabs API for text-to-speech conversion, and ITmedia RSS feeds as the primary news source. The website, hosted on GitHub Pages and built with the Jekyll static site generator, is an open-source project, encouraging others to explore and innovate in the realm of AI-driven content generation.
