BrainRotAI

Small Python toolkit that:

• Scrapes top text posts from a subreddit via Reddit’s public JSON endpoints
• Saves stories to JSON
• Generates TTS audio from a story JSON (Google API)
• (Optional) Generates images/videos (requires FFmpeg for video) DOESNT WORK YET

Setup

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Video generation requires FFmpeg installed and on your PATH.

Quick start

Run a basic system check:

python test_system.py

Fetch the next unprocessed story and generate a .wav:

python run_story_tts.py

Note: run_story_tts.py currently contains a hard-coded API key; replace it with your own key (and avoid committing secrets).
