Abstract:

A fully automated system for distributing Tamil Thirukkural verses combines cultural preservation with cutting-edge technology. The solution streamlines Thirukkural content delivery for various worldwide audiences using AI, quick engineering, and automation. Post-production, story development, email delivery, and audio synthesis are automated to ensure consistency and quality. Accessibility for people with dyslexia and other readers is a system priority. Tamil voice narration and Open Dyslexic typefaces make the material more inclusive and interesting. The method also translates into English for non-Tamil speakers. AI-driven storytelling uses Gemini API and age-appropriate prompts. Content is tailored to children, adults, and elderly. Children hear fantasy, adults learn practical skills, and elders hear philosophical, culturally complex stories.  Unique to this system, owner notification provides real-time system status updates, including successful operations and error reporting. Reliability and quick problem response boost operational efficiency. Google Forms streamlines user onboarding, while Google Sheets organizes data. High user engagement, especially among youngsters and seniors, suggests the system may bridge traditional Tamil literature and modern digital platforms. While promoting Tamil heritage worldwide, this project uses AI and automation to preserve culture and provide inclusive and accessible educational content.
