How this works
Stay effortlessly informed on your favourite topics with this workflow, which curates and delivers a personalised daily newsletter straight to your Gmail inbox. It suits busy professionals or enthusiasts who want AI-generated summaries of the latest news without spending time browsing multiple sources. The key step involves OpenAI analysing fetched RSS articles to craft concise, engaging insights from your selected feeds, ensuring relevant content arrives automatically each morning.
Use this when you rely on 3-5 consistent RSS sources for industry updates and prefer a single, digestible email over fragmented alerts. Avoid it for real-time breaking news, as the scheduled trigger suits daily over hourly cadences; opt instead for manual triggers in those cases. Common variations include swapping Gmail for Slack notifications or expanding to weekly roundups by adjusting the cron schedule.
