I catch up on long WhatsApp group discussions as podcasts.
The quick way is to scroll on WhatsApp Web, select all, paste into NotebookLM, and create the podcast.
Mine is a bit more complicated. Here’s an example:
- Use a bookmarklet to scrape the messages https://tools.s-anand.net/whatsappscraper/
- Generate a 2-person script https://github.com/sanand0/generative-ai-group/blob/main/config.toml
- Have
gpt-4o-mini-ttsconvert each line using a different voice https://www.openai.fm/ - Combine using
ffmpeghttps://ffmpeg.org/ - Publish on GitHub Releases https://github.com/sanand0/generative-ai-group/releases/tag/main
I run this every week. So far, it’s proved quite enlightening.
