Matcha: Add an LLM-powered analyst to your RSS Feeds

Today I added the "The Analyst" feature to the Matcha RSS Reader, which can display relevant insights through an LLM-powered analysis section of selected feeds. Think of it as having your personal AI research assistant that reads your feeds and creates customised analysis based on your specific goals and interests.

To demonstrate its capabilities, let's explore a practical use case: setting up an investment analyst to help discover potential market opportunities. Consider this scenario - if it were January 2020, and BBC News reported about a SARS-like virus, the analyst could have suggested investing in e-commerce companies or streaming services in anticipation of potential lockdowns.

I tested this feature today by adding two business-related feeds (BBC Business and Denmark's DR Money) with the following custom prompt:

analyst_prompt: "You are a world-class investment expert. Analyze the provided list of articles for potential investment opportunities. If no direct opportunities are found, identify industries, regions, or trends that could have indirect impacts on the investment landscape."
analyst_feeds:
  - https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/business/rss.xml
  - https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/service/feeds/penge

And that's it, on the daily digest I could see interesting insights that look like:

Analyst

As prompt sizes continue to grow, I plan to add in the next version the option to attach the full articles' text as well.
