What is Zacusca?
Zacusca is an AI-powered tool designed to help users manage noisy RSS feeds by separating relevant content from the clutter. It works by importing RSS feeds from existing readers in OPML format, then using large language models (LLMs) to analyze and categorize feed items based on user-defined categories. This process creates new, filtered feeds that contain only the content relevant to the specified topics.
The tool allows users to define custom categories such as 'News about the Balkans' or 'Jazz,' and Zacusca's AI automatically assigns feed items to these groups. Items that don't fit any category are placed in a special 'None' feed. Once processed, users can export the newly organized feeds and import them into their preferred RSS reader, providing a cleaner, more focused reading experience without manual filtering.
