# Morning Digest

A personalized daily briefing that collects data from your connected services, synthesizes a spoken narrative with a local LLM, and delivers it as audio via text-to-speech.

## Quickstart (5 minutes)

### 1. Install and set up NOVA AI

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Hamza35779/NOVA-AI.git
cd NOVA AI
uv sync --extra dev
```

### 2. Start a local LLM via Ollama

```bash
# Install Ollama: https://ollama.com
ollama pull qwen3.5:9b    # or any model you prefer
```

### 3. Configure the digest

Edit `~/.nova_ai/config.toml`:

```toml
[engine]
default = "ollama"

[intelligence]
default_model = "qwen3.5:9b"

[digest]
enabled = true
schedule = "0 6 * * *"          # 6 AM daily (cron syntax)
timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"
persona = "nova"
honorific = "sir"               # or "ma'am", "boss", etc.
tts_backend = "cartesia"        # or "openai"
voice_id = "c8f7835e-28a3-4f0c-80d7-c1302ac62aae"  # Alistair (British male)
voice_speed = 1.2
sections = ["health", "messages", "calendar", "world"]

[digest.health]
sources = ["oura"]

[digest.messages]
sources = ["gmail", "google_tasks", "slack", "imessage"]

[digest.calendar]
sources = ["gcalendar"]

[digest.world]
sources = ["weather", "hackernews", "news_rss"]
```

### 4. Connect your data sources

```bash
# Google (one flow covers Gmail, Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, Drive)
nova connect gdrive
# Paste: <client_id>:<client_secret> — browser opens automatically

# Oura Ring (personal access token)
nova connect oura
# Paste your token from https://cloud.ouraring.com/personal-access-tokens

# Spotify
nova connect spotify

# Strava
nova connect strava
```

For Weather, GitHub, and News — save credential files directly:

```bash
# Weather (OpenWeatherMap — free at https://openweathermap.org/api)
echo '{"api_key": "YOUR_KEY", "location": "San Francisco,CA,US"}' > ~/.nova_ai/connectors/weather.json

# GitHub notifications (token from https://github.com/settings/tokens)
echo '{"token": "ghp_YOUR_TOKEN"}' > ~/.nova_ai/connectors/github.json

# News RSS (no auth needed — configure your feeds)
cat > ~/.nova_ai/connectors/news_rss.json << 'EOF'
{"feeds": [
  {"name": "Arxiv CS.AI", "url": "https://rss.arxiv.org/rss/cs.AI"},
  {"name": "TechCrunch", "url": "https://techcrunch.com/feed/"},
  {"name": "Bloomberg", "url": "https://feeds.bloomberg.com/markets/news.rss"},
  {"name": "WSJ", "url": "https://feeds.a.dj.com/rss/RSSWorldNews.xml"}
]}
EOF
```

Hacker News, iMessage, and Apple Music work automatically on macOS with no setup.

### 5. Set your TTS API key

```bash
# Cartesia (sign up at https://play.cartesia.ai)
export CARTESIA_API_KEY="sk_car_..."

# Or OpenAI (https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-proj-..."
```

### 6. Run your first digest

```bash
CARTESIA_API_KEY="sk_car_..." nova digest --fresh
```

The digest will:
1. Collect data from all connected sources
2. Synthesize a spoken briefing with Qwen3.5 9B
3. Generate audio with the Cartesia Alistair voice
4. Print the text and play the audio

## CLI Commands

```bash
nova digest --fresh          # Generate a new digest now
nova digest                  # Show today's cached digest
nova digest --text-only      # Print text without audio
nova digest --history        # Show past digests
nova digest --schedule "0 6 * * *"   # Set daily schedule
nova digest --schedule off   # Disable schedule
nova digest --schedule       # Show current schedule
```

## Saying "Good morning"

When chatting with Nova (via CLI, desktop, or browser), saying "Good morning" or "morning digest" automatically triggers the digest — no need to use the `digest` command explicitly.

## Configuration Reference

### Sections

The `sections` list controls what the digest covers, in order of priority:

| Section | Sources | What it provides |
|---------|---------|-----------------|
| `health` | `oura`, `apple_health`, `strava` | Sleep, readiness, activity, workouts |
| `messages` | `gmail`, `google_tasks`, `slack`, `notion`, `imessage`, `github_notifications` | Email triage, tasks, texts, Slack, PRs |
| `calendar` | `gcalendar` | Today's events and schedule |
| `world` | `weather`, `hackernews`, `news_rss` | Weather forecast, tech news, RSS feeds |
| `music` | `spotify`, `apple_music` | Recently played tracks (opt-in) |

### TTS Voices

**Cartesia** (recommended — natural, expressive):
| Voice | ID | Description |
|-------|----|-------------|
| Alistair | `c8f7835e-28a3-4f0c-80d7-c1302ac62aae` | Sophisticated British male |
| Benedict | `3c0f09d6-e0d7-499c-a594-70c5b7b93048` | Polished, formal British male |
| Harrison | `df89f42f-f285-4613-adbf-14eedcec4c9e` | Crisp, professional British male |
| Sterling | `b134c304-d095-4d2b-a77a-914f5e8e84e7` | Deep, commanding, dignified |

**OpenAI TTS**:
| Voice | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `onyx` | Deep male |
| `nova` | Female, warm |
| `alloy` | Neutral |
| `shimmer` | Female, expressive |

### Persona

The `persona` field loads a prompt file from `configs/nova_ai/prompts/personas/{name}.md`. The default `nova` persona delivers briefings with dry British wit, prioritizes urgent items, and interprets health data as trends rather than raw numbers.

To create a custom persona, add a new `.md` file in the personas directory.

### News Feeds

Add any RSS or Atom feed to `~/.nova_ai/connectors/news_rss.json`:

```json
{"feeds": [
  {"name": "Arxiv CS.AI", "url": "https://rss.arxiv.org/rss/cs.AI"},
  {"name": "Arxiv CS.LG", "url": "https://rss.arxiv.org/rss/cs.LG"},
  {"name": "NYT Top Stories", "url": "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"},
  {"name": "TechCrunch", "url": "https://techcrunch.com/feed/"},
  {"name": "Bloomberg Markets", "url": "https://feeds.bloomberg.com/markets/news.rss"},
  {"name": "WSJ World News", "url": "https://feeds.a.dj.com/rss/RSSWorldNews.xml"},
  {"name": "Hacker News", "url": "https://hnrss.org/frontpage"}
]}
```

## API Endpoints

The digest is also available via the FastAPI server:

```bash
nova serve  # Start the server

# GET  /api/digest           — Get today's digest text
# GET  /api/digest/audio     — Stream the digest audio (MP3)
# POST /api/digest/generate  — Force re-generation
# GET  /api/digest/history   — Past digests
# GET  /api/digest/schedule  — Current schedule config
# POST /api/digest/schedule  — Update schedule {"enabled": true, "cron": "0 6 * * *"}
```

## Frontend

The desktop and browser apps show an inline audio player when a digest is generated. The "Connect" buttons in the setup wizard handle OAuth flows automatically — click to connect, authorize in the browser popup, done.

## Troubleshooting

**"No digest for today"** — Run `nova digest --fresh` to generate one.

**Empty sections** — Check connector status with `nova connect --list`. Ensure tokens haven't expired (Google/Spotify tokens expire after 1 hour and are auto-refreshed on next use).

**Weather not working** — OpenWeatherMap API keys can take up to 2 hours to activate after creation. Use the format `City,State,Country` (e.g., `Palo Alto,CA,US`).

**GitHub 403** — Your personal access token needs the `notifications` permission under Account permissions (not Repository permissions).

**Audio not playing** — Ensure `CARTESIA_API_KEY` or `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set. Check credits at https://play.cartesia.ai or https://platform.openai.com.
