### Inspiration

Every day, we’re flooded with articles, videos, and news, but it’s hard to keep up without getting overwhelmed. We built FeedCast to turn that chaos into clarity: personalized, bite-sized audio summaries that let you stay informed while you’re on the go. Whether you’re commuting, walking to class, or grabbing coffee, FeedCast turns downtime into learning. What It Does FeedCast creates your own AI-generated news podcast — tailored to your interests. It curates trending stories, summarizes them into natural-sounding audio, and delivers them through an intuitive iOS app with real-time voice interaction. Users can interact with the podcast information, ask follow ups and clarifying questions. How We Built It We built a full-stack iOS app powered by a FastAPI backend. The iOS app uses SwiftUI for the interface and LiveKit for real-time voice chat. On the backend, we integrated Claude AI for script generation and fact-checking, OpenAI for conversation handling, and automated audio synthesis. Supabase manages authentication, database storage, and audio hosting. Our agent system orchestrates personalized content generation using prompt engineering for high-quality, engaging results. Challenges We Ran Into Getting LiveKit working smoothly for real-time audio was tougher than expected — a lot of debugging went into stable streaming. We initially tried FetchAI for the agent system but pivoted to a custom Claude-based pipeline for better control and content quality. Balancing personalization, accuracy, and natural flow in long-form AI speech took several prompt-engineering iterations. Accomplishments We’re Proud Of Built seamless real-time AI voice interaction with LiveKit Created an end-to-end system from user preferences → curated content → audio generation Designed synchronized text transcripts that follow along with playback Achieved natural, coherent AI-generated podcast segments through prompt refinement What We Learned We deepened our understanding of prompt engineering, real-time audio streaming, and multi-agent orchestration. We also learned how to integrate AI systems with a robust FastAPI backend and SwiftUI front end. What’s Next We plan to expand beyond news — adding educational content, research topics, and custom themes. The goal is to utilize this project as a way to make small quick actions based on your personal goals from adding a to do list to writing emails.

## Key source files (fetched from GitHub, selected and truncated for size)

### SWIFT_COMPILATION_FIX.md

```markdown
# Swift Compilation Fixes

## Errors Fixed

### 1. ✅ Invalid redeclaration of 'TranscriptSegment'
**Problem:** `TranscriptSegment` was defined in multiple files:
- `OpenAIService.swift` (original definition)
- `VoiceChatView.swift` (duplicate definition)

**Solution:** 
- Removed duplicate definition from VoiceChatView.swift
- Use `OpenAIService.TranscriptSegment` to reference the struct

### 2. ✅ Cannot find 'PublishDataOptions' in scope
**Problem:** `PublishDataOptions` doesn't exist in LiveKit Swift SDK

**Solution:** Changed from:
```swift
try await room?.localParticipant.publish(data: transcriptJSON, options: PublishDataOptions(
    reliable: true,
    topic: "podcast_transcript"
))
```

To:
```swift
try await room?.localParticipant.publish(data: transcriptJSON, reliable: true, topic: "podcast_transcript")
```

### 3. ✅ Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation
**Problem:** Swift couldn't infer types in the data channel code

**Solution:** Added explicit type annotations:
```swift
// Before
let transcriptMessage = [
    "type": "podcast_transcript",
    "segments": transcriptSegments.map { segment in
        [
            "startTime": segment.startTime,
            "endTime": segment.endTime,
            "text": segment.text
        ]
    }
] as [String: Any]

// After
let transcriptMessage: [String: Any] = [
    "type": "podcast_transcript",
    "segments": transcriptSegments.map { segment -> [String: Any] in
        return [
            "startTime": segment.startTime,
            "endTime": segment.endTime,
            "text": segment.text
        ]
    }
]
```

## Changes Made

### VoiceChatView.swift

1. **Line 480, 522:** Changed `TranscriptSegment` to `OpenAIService.TranscriptSegment`
2. **Line 525-534:** Added explicit type annotations to fix ambiguity
3. **Line 537:** Fixed data publishing API call
4. **Line 791:** Removed duplicate `TranscriptSegment` struct definition

## Result

✅ All compilation errors resolved
✅ No linter warnings
✅ Code properly references OpenAIService.TranscriptSegment
✅ Data channel publishing uses correct LiveKit API

## File Modified
- `feedcast/Views/VoiceChatView.swift`


```

## 🎯 Immediate Next Steps (After Manual Setup)

1. **First:** Follow SUPABASE_SETUP.md to:
   - Add Supabase SDK
   - Run SQL
   - Configure credentials

2. **Test:** Run app and verify:
   - Onboarding flow works
   - Can create account
   - Can sign in
   - Data persists in Supabase
   - Interests are saved

3. **Then:** Continue with PodcastService integration

## 📝 Notes

- **Onboarding is complete and beautiful!** - 5 pages with smooth UX
- **Auth is fully integrated** - Sign up, sign in, data persistence
- **Demo mode works** - App gracefully handles missing Supabase config
- **Security i

### ONBOARDED_MIGRATION.sql

-- Migration: Add onboarded column to users table
-- Purpose: Track whether user has completed onboarding process
-- Date: 2025-10-26

-- Add onboarded column to users table (defaults to false for new users)
ALTER TABLE users 
ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS onboarded BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE NOT NULL;

-- Optional: If you want to mark existing users as already onboarded
-- Uncomment the following line if needed:
-- UPDATE users SET onboarded = TRUE WHERE created_at < NOW();

-- Verify the column was added

### SUPABASE_TRANSCRIPT_MIGRATION.sql

```sql
-- Migration: Add transcript column to episodes table
-- This is optional - transcripts are stored in memory for now
-- Run this in Supabase SQL Editor if you want to store transcripts in the database

-- Add transcript column to episodes table
ALTER TABLE episodes 
ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS transcript JSONB;

-- Add comment to document the column
COMMENT ON COLUMN episodes.transcript IS 'JSON array of timestamped transcript segments for synchronized playback';

-- Create an index for better query performance if searching transcripts
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_episodes_transcript 
ON episodes USING GIN (transcript);

-- Verify the migration

### SUPABASE_MIGRATION.sql

```sql
-- Migration: Add user profile fields and news sources
-- Run this in Supabase SQL Editor to add new fields to existing database

-- Add new columns to users table
ALTER TABLE users

ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS age INTEGER,
ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS gender TEXT,
ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS occupation TEXT,
ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS news_sources TEXT[] DEFAULT '{}';

-- Add comments to document the columns

COMMENT ON COLUMN users.gender IS 'User''s gender identity';
COMMENT ON COLUMN users.occupation IS 'User''s occupation or job title';
COMMENT ON COLUMN users.news_sources IS 'Array of news sources the user follows (e.g., BBC, CNN, NYT)';
