AI News Anchor – Autonomous Generative Journalism

AI News Anchor is a fully automated pipeline that fetches real news, writes anchor-style scripts, generates AI avatars, and produces broadcast-ready videos without human input.

🚨 Breaking News... by AI? 🎙️🧠

I’m incredibly excited to share my latest project: AI News Anchor — a fully autonomous system that brings journalism into the age of Generative AI.

📰 How It Works

Imagine this: You just enter a topic like "Earthquake in Delhi"* or *"AI Model Launched by Google", and within minutes, the system:

1. Fetches real-time news using SerpAPI

2. Generates a professional script using a local LLM (Mistral via Ollama)

3. Creates a human-like voiceover using TTS

4. Animates an AI avatar news anchor synced with the speech

5. Merges with real-world B-roll clips to deliver a broadcast-ready video 🎥

🤯 Why This Matters

We’re entering an era where AI isn’t just answering questions — it’s narrating the world.

This project shows how voice, vision, and text generation* can blend together to deliver *timely, neutral, multilingual news, accessible even in regions lacking traditional media infrastructure.

🌍 Potential applications:

  • Personalized newsfeeds, generated on demand
  • Rural communities receiving AI-generated news in their language
  • Real-time emergency updates, delivered with visuals and voice
  • 🧠 What I Learned

    This project gave me hands-on experience with:

  • Facial sync using Wav2Lip
  • Human-like language & tone generation with LLMs
  • TTS pipelines for realistic narration
  • Video merging & logic to combine avatars with real-world scenes
  • And the best part — it runs end-to-end without manual editing*, using only *free and local tools, no paid APIs — just creative engineering and curiosity.
