NIA: An Autonomous Substack Agent You Can Self-Host

说明与用途

NIA 是一个自主的 Substack 代理，自动化主题发现、研究、写作、发布和社区互动，让用户保持对账户和编辑语调的控制。

问题

Maintaining a Substack publication requires repetitive tasks—finding stories, gathering sources, drafting, publishing, replying to comments, and sustaining a rhythm—making it labor‑intensive for individual editors.

结果

NIA demonstrates a fully self‑hosted Substack automation pipeline that reduces manual workload, preserves editorial voice, and tracks costs and reliability metrics.

工作流

• Configure a preset with subject, sources, style, and publishing rhythm
• Set up local environment with Python 3.11+, Chrome, and model API keys
• Run the control panel or CLI to start scheduled workflows
• NIA discovers topics via RSS/Atom, YouTube, and searches
• Retrieves sources and preserves evidence
• Generates drafts using configured model roles
• Publishes articles and Notes through a logged‑in Chrome session
• Performs community actions (reply, comment, like, restack) as per preset
• Logs costs, attempts, and health metrics in the tracking panel

证据

NIA is an open‑source Python project that automates the entire Substack workflow while allowing the operator to use their own account, model APIs, and editorial voice.
