CarZay is a Myanmar-facing car news app. Global automotive coverage gets pulled, summarised, and translated to Burmese automatically — readers in Myanmar get the same news as the rest of the world without waiting for editors to manually translate.
How it works
- 4 RSS sources — Car and Driver, Motor1, InsideEVs, Autocar UK — polled at 07:00 and 19:00 Yangon time.
- Smart deduplication — articles already translated are skipped before any expensive AI calls.
- Full-article scraping — RSS feeds give snippets; a custom
/api/crawlendpoint pulls the actual article body and OG image. - AI summariser in Burmese — runs on Ollama Cloud (
gpt-oss:120b), produces natural 8–12 sentence summaries instead of literal word-for-word translation. - Self-healing — if a translation fails, the upsert pipeline retries on the next run.
- Showrooms and accessories directory — manually-curated local business listings alongside the news.
What readers get
- Latest car news in Burmese, refreshed twice daily — no waiting on manual translation.
- Brand and model names kept in English (Toyota, BMW, Tesla) for searchability.
- One-tap to open the original article on the source site.
- Save articles for later, browse by category.
