How this works
Stay informed on the latest news without endless scrolling through feeds by receiving personalised daily summaries tailored to your interests. This workflow fetches articles from RSS sources, uses an AI agent powered by Ollama to analyse and condense them into concise insights, and emails you a custom digest. Ideal for busy professionals, researchers, or enthusiasts who value time-efficient updates from preferred outlets like BBC or The Guardian.
Use this when you need automated, AI-enhanced news overviews on a schedule, such as daily briefings, to replace manual feed checking. Avoid it for real-time alerts or non-RSS sources, where dedicated news APIs might suit better. Common variations include swapping Ollama for another LLM or adding filters for specific topics like tech or finance.
