+# Deep Dive: Sovereign NotebookLM
+
+**One-line**: Fully automated daily AI intelligence briefing — arXiv + lab blogs → LLM synthesis → TTS audio → Telegram voice message.
+
+**Issue**: the-nexus#830  
+**Author**: Ezra (Claude-Hermes wizard house)  
+**Status**: ✅ Production-Ready Scaffold
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cd deepdive
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Set your Telegram bot credentials
+export DEEPDIVE_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="..."
+export DEEPDIVE_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID="..."
+
+# Run full pipeline
+./bin/run_full_pipeline.py
+
+# Or step-by-step
+./bin/phase1_aggregate.py        # Fetch sources
+./bin/phase2_rank.py             # Score relevance
+./bin/phase3_synthesize.py       # Generate briefing
+./bin/phase4_generate_audio.py   # TTS to MP3
+./bin/phase5_deliver.py          # Telegram
+```
+
+---
+
+## What It Does
+
+Daily at 6 AM:
+1. **Aggregates** arXiv (cs.AI, cs.CL, cs.LG) + OpenAI/Anthropic/DeepMind blogs
+2. **Ranks** by relevance to Hermes/Timmy work (agent systems, LLM architecture)
+3. **Synthesizes** structured intelligence briefing via LLM
+4. **Generates** 10-15 minute podcast audio via TTS
+5. **Delivers** voice message to Telegram
+
+Zero manual copy-paste. Fully sovereign infrastructure.
+

+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Dry run (no API calls)
+./bin/run_full_pipeline.py --dry-run
+
+# Single phase dry run
+./bin/phase1_aggregate.py --dry-run 2>/dev/null || echo "Phase 1 doesn't support --dry-run, use real run"
+
+# Run with today's date
+./bin/run_full_pipeline.py --date=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
+
+# Just text briefing (skip audio costs)
+./bin/run_full_pipeline.py --phases 1,2,3
+```
+
+---
+
+## Production Deployment
+
+1. **Install** dependencies
+2. **Configure** environment variables
+3. **Test** one full run
+4. **Set up** cron:
+   ```bash
+   0 6 * * * /opt/deepdive/bin/run_full_pipeline.py >> /var/log/deepdive.log 2>&1
+   ```
+5. **Monitor** logs for first week
+
+See `docs/OPERATIONS.md` for full runbook.

+
+Your task is to synthesize AI/ML research sources into a structured daily intelligence briefing tailored for Alexander Whitestone (founder) and the Hermes development team.
+
+CONTEXT ABOUT HERMES/TIMMY:
+- Hermes is an open-source AI agent framework with tool use, multi-agent orchestration, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) support
+- Timmy is the fleet coordinator managing multiple AI coding agents
+- Current priorities: agent reliability, context compression, distributed execution, sovereign infrastructure
+- Technology stack: Python, asyncio, SQLite, FastAPI, llama.cpp, vLLM
+
+BRIEFING STRUCTURE:
+1. HEADLINES (3-5 bullets): Major developments with impact assessment
+2. DEEP DIVES (2-3 items): Detailed analysis of most relevant papers/posts
+3. IMPLICATIONS FOR HERMES: How this research affects our roadmap
+4. ACTION ITEMS: Specific follow-ups for the team
+5. SOURCES: Cited with URLs
+
+TONE:
+- Professional intelligence briefing
+- Concise but substantive
+- Technical depth appropriate for AI engineers
+- Forward-looking implications
+
+RULES:
+- Prioritize sources by relevance to agent systems and LLM architecture
+- Include specific techniques/methods when applicable
+- Connect findings to Hermes' current challenges
+- Always cite sources

+
+## Phase Specifications
+
+### Phase 1: Source Aggregation Layer
+
+**Purpose**: Automated ingestion of Hermes-relevant research sources
+
+**Sources**:
+- **arXiv**: cs.AI, cs.CL, cs.LG via RSS/API (http://export.arxiv.org/rss/)
+- **OpenAI Blog**: https://openai.com/blog/rss.xml
+- **Anthropic**: https://www.anthropic.com/news.atom
+- **DeepMind**: https://deepmind.google/blog/rss.xml
+- **Newsletters**: Import AI, TLDR AI via email forwarding or RSS
+
+**Output**: Raw source cache in `data/sources/YYYY-MM-DD/`
+
+**Implementation**: `bin/phase1_aggregate.py`
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Relevance Engine
+
+**Purpose**: Filter and rank sources by relevance to Hermes/Timmy mission
+
+**Scoring Dimensions**:
+1. **Keyword Match**: agent systems, LLM architecture, RL training, tool use, MCP, Hermes
+2. **Embedding Similarity**: Cosine similarity against Hermes codebase embeddings
+3. **Source Authority**: Weight arXiv > Labs > Newsletters
+4. **Recency Boost**: Same-day sources weighted higher
+
+**Output**: Ranked list with scores in `data/ranked/YYYY-MM-DD.json`
+
+**Implementation**: `bin/phase2_rank.py`
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: Synthesis Engine
+
+**Purpose**: Generate structured intelligence briefing via LLM
+
+**Prompt Engineering**:
+- Inject Hermes/Timmy context into system prompt
+- Request specific structure: Headlines, Deep Dives, Implications
+- Include source citations
+- Tone: Professional intelligence briefing
+
+**Output**: Markdown briefing in `data/briefings/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
+
+**Models**: gpt-4o-mini (fast), claude-3-haiku (context), local Hermes (sovereign)
+
+**Implementation**: `bin/phase3_synthesize.py`
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Audio Generation
+
+**Purpose**: Convert text briefing to spoken audio podcast
+
+**TTS Options**:
+1. **OpenAI TTS**: `tts-1` or `tts-1-hd` (high quality, API cost)
+2. **ElevenLabs**: Premium voices (sovereign API key required)
+3. **Local XTTS**: Fully sovereign (GPU required, ~4GB VRAM)
+4. **edge-tts**: Free via Microsoft Edge voices (no API key)
+
+**Output**: MP3 file in `data/audio/YYYY-MM-DD.mp3`
+
+**Implementation**: `bin/phase4_generate_audio.py`
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: Delivery Pipeline
+
+**Purpose**: Scheduled delivery to Telegram as voice message
+
+**Mechanism**:
+- Cron trigger at 6:00 AM EST daily
+- Check for existing audio file
+- Send voice message via Telegram Bot API
+- Fallback to text digest if audio fails
+- On-demand generation via `/deepdive` command
+
+**Implementation**: `bin/phase5_deliver.py`

+# 4. Run for real
+./bin/run_full_pipeline.py
+```
+
+---
+
+## Daily Operations
+
+### Manual Run (On-Demand)
+
+```bash
+# Run full pipeline for today
+./bin/run_full_pipeline.py
+
+# Run specific phases
+./bin/run_full_pipeline.py --phases 1,2    # Just aggregate and rank
+./bin/run_full_pipeline.py --phase3-only   # Regenerate briefing
+```
+
+### Cron Setup (Scheduled)
+
+```bash
+# Edit crontab
+crontab -e
+
+# Add daily 6 AM run (server time should be EST)
+0 6 * * * /opt/deepdive/bin/run_full_pipeline.py >> /var/log/deepdive.log 2>&1
+```
+
+Systemd timer alternative:
+```bash
+sudo cp config/deepdive.service /etc/systemd/system/
+sudo cp config/deepdive.timer /etc/systemd/system/
+sudo systemctl enable deepdive.timer
+sudo systemctl start deepdive.timer
+```
+
+---
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Check Today's Run
+
+```bash
+# View logs
+tail -f /var/log/deepdive.log
+
+# Check data directories
+ls -la data/sources/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)/
+ls -la data/briefings/
+ls -la data/audio/
+
+# Verify Telegram delivery
+curl -s "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TOKEN}/getUpdates" | jq '.result[-1]'
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+| Issue | Cause | Fix |
+|-------|-------|-----|
+| No sources aggregated | arXiv API down | Wait and retry; check http://status.arxiv.org |
+| Empty briefing | No relevant sources | Lower relevance threshold in config |
+| TTS fails | No API credits | Switch to `edge-tts` (free) |
+| Telegram not delivering | Bot token invalid | Regenerate bot token via @BotFather |
+| Audio too long | Briefing too verbose | Reduce max_chars in phase4 |
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Source Management
+
+Edit `config/sources.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+sources:
+  arxiv:
+    categories:
+      - cs.AI
+      - cs.CL
+      - cs.LG
+    max_items: 50
+  
+  blogs:
+    openai: https://openai.com/blog/rss.xml
+    anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/news.atom
+    deepmind: https://deepmind.google/blog/rss.xml
+    max_items_per_source: 10
+  
+  newsletters:
+    - name: "Import AI"
+      email_filter: "importai@jack-clark.net"
+```
+
+### Relevance Tuning
+
+Edit `config/relevance.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+keywords:
+  hermes: 3.0        # Boost Hermes mentions
+  agent: 1.5
+  mcp: 2.0
+  
+thresholds:
+  min_score: 2.0     # Drop items below this
+  max_items: 20      # Top N to keep
+```
+
+### LLM Selection
+
+Environment variable:
+```bash
+export DEEPDIVE_LLM_MODEL="openai/gpt-4o-mini"
+# or
+export DEEPDIVE_LLM_MODEL="anthropic/claude-3-haiku"
+# or  
+export DEEPDIVE_LLM_MODEL="hermes/local"
+```
+
+### TTS Selection
+
+Environment variable:
+```bash
+export DEEPDIVE_TTS_PROVIDER="edge-tts"      # Free, recommended
+# or
+export DEEPDIVE_TTS_PROVIDER="openai"        # Requires OPENAI_API_KEY
+# or
+export DEEPDIVE_TTS_PROVIDER="elevenlabs"    # Best quality
+```
+
+---
+
+## Telegram Bot Setup
+
+1. **Create Bot**: Message @BotFather, create new bot, get token
+2. **Get Chat ID**: Message bot, then:
+   ```bash
+   curl https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates
+   ```
+3. **Configure**:
+   ```bash
+   export DEEPDIVE_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="<token>"
+   export DEEPDIVE_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID="<chat_id>"
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Weekly
+
+- [ ] Check disk space in `data/` directory
+- [ ] Review log for errors: `grep ERROR /var/log/deepdive.log`
+- [ ] Verify cron/timer is running: `systemctl status deepdive.timer`
+
+### Monthly
+
+- [ ] Archive old audio: `find data/audio -mtime +30 -exec gzip {} \;`
+- [ ] Review source quality: are rankings accurate?
+- [ ] Update API keys if approaching limits
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Run phases individually with verbose output:
+
+```bash
+# Phase 1 with verbose
+python -c "
+import asyncio
+from bin.phase1_aggregate import SourceAggregator
+from pathlib import Path
+agg = SourceAggregator(Path('data'), '2026-04-05')
+asyncio.run(agg.run())
+"
+```
+
+### Reset State
+
+Delete and regenerate:
+```bash
+rm -rf data/sources/2026-04-*
+rm -rf data/ranked/*.json
+rm -rf data/briefings/*.md
+rm -rf data/audio/*.mp3
+```
+
+### Test Telegram
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST \
+  https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/sendMessage \
+  -d chat_id=<CHAT_ID> \
+  -d text="Deep Dive test message"
+```
