@ThreaderBot listens for Twitter mentions. When someone sends it a link, the bot will:

• Download the content of that link
• Extract and clean the text
• Summarize the text into up to five sentences using the TextRank algorithm
• Answers the Twitter mention with a thread including the generated summary.

The bot is developed in PHP with Symfony, and runs as a cron job in a Raspberry PI.

The field of Artificial Intelligence began to develop after World War II (the name was coined in 1956). But it wasn’t until the late 20th century that widespread applications began to emerge, with the first spam detectors and recommendation engines.

In the 2020s, the emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence appears poised to revolutionize the way people interact with technology.
