Community Digest Bot

Curated highlights from multiple communities, automatically published to their respective Telegram channels. Also powers the Community Digest feed and Participation (events) in My Community and Dear Neighbors Chrome extensions via the REST API.

What It Does

1. Meeting Digests

Summarizes community Zoom calls and publishes engaging narrative recaps.

• Source: Fireflies.ai transcripts (auto-recorded from Zoom)
• Trigger: Manual via /digest-meeting command in Claude Code

2. Weekly Links Roundup

Monitors community conversations and curates the best links shared each week.

• Source: Telegram group topics (Links, Memes, News, Resources, etc.)
• Content understanding: Firecrawl scrapes each link to generate rich descriptions
• Trigger: Manual via /digest-links [group] command in Claude Code (autonomous generation planned — see Roadmap)

3. Events Aggregation

Unified events feed from multiple sources, consumed by MC and DN extensions.

• Source A: Telegram event links (enriched with date/location from Luma API, Meetup/Eventbrite ld+json)
• Source B: External event APIs (Luma calendar polling)
• Served via GET /api/events with community and city filters

Setup

Meeting Digests

Uses Claude Code with Fireflies MCP:

• Fireflies.ai for meeting transcripts
• Posts via Telegram Bot API
• See CLAUDE.md for digest format guidelines

Links Monitor

Serverless Python functions on Vercel with Supabase storage.

# Deploy
vercel --prod

# Set environment variables
vercel env add BOT_TOKEN
vercel env add WEBHOOK_SECRET
vercel env add SUPABASE_URL
vercel env add SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY

# Register Telegram webhook
curl -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${BOT_TOKEN}/setWebhook" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://scenius-digest.vercel.app/api/webhook","secret_token":"...","allowed_updates":["message"]}'

API

Deployed at https://scenius-digest.vercel.app. Used by Claude Code for digest generation, by My Community for the digest feed + events, and by Dear Neighbors for events.

Endpoint	Description
GET /api/links	Unpublished links (for digest generation)
GET /api/links?all=true	All links including published (for My Community)
GET /api/links?group=cibc	Links from specific group
GET /api/events	All upcoming events across communities
GET /api/events?community=nsrt	Events for a specific community
GET /api/events?city=novi-sad	Events by city (used by Dear Neighbors)
GET /api/groups	List configured groups with event metadata
POST /api/mark-published	Mark as published: {"ids": [1,2,3]}
POST /api/send_message	Post to Telegram: {"chat_id": "...", "text": "..."}
GET /api/health	Health check

Claude Code Commands

This repo includes custom slash commands for Claude Code:

Command	Description
/digest-links	Generate weekly links roundup (asks which group)
/digest-links scenius	Generate digest for Scenius
/digest-links cibc	Generate digest for CIBC
/digest-meeting	Generate digest from latest meeting

Usage

git clone https://github.com/sensemaking-scenius/scenius-digest
cd scenius-digest
claude  # start Claude Code

Then type /digest-links scenius or /digest-meeting.

Requirements

To use these commands, you need Claude Code configured with:

• Fireflies MCP - for accessing meeting transcripts (meeting digests only)
• Firecrawl MCP - for scraping link content to generate rich descriptions (links digests)
• Bot token - for posting to Telegram (stored as Vercel env var)

Contact @zhiganov if you want to help with digest generation.

Adding a New Community

1. Add bot to the Telegram group as admin
2. Run /debug in topics to get IDs
3. Edit groups.json with the new group config
4. Deploy: vercel --prod
5. No webhook re-registration needed (same endpoint)

Roadmap

Autonomous Digest Generation

Currently, digest generation requires a Claude Code session — someone runs /digest-links scenius, Claude scrapes the links via Firecrawl, writes the narrative, and posts it. The goal is to make this fully autonomous.

The API surface is almost complete:

Step	Endpoint	Status
Fetch links	GET /api/links?group={group}	Done
Scrape & generate narrative	POST /api/generate-digest	Planned
Post to Telegram	POST /api/send_message	Done
Mark as published	POST /api/mark-published	Done

The missing piece is a serverless function that calls the Claude API with link metadata (OG titles/descriptions are already stored) to generate the digest narrative. This would enable:

• Scheduled digests via Vercel cron or GitHub Actions
• Bot-triggered digests via a /digest Telegram command
• Community-run digests without needing Claude Code access

See GitHub issue #1.

Slack Integration

Multi-platform link collection from Slack workspaces (starting with Metagov). See docs/plans/2026-02-12-slack-integration-design.md.
