Create and send tech news digests with RSS, Gemini AI and Gmail
DISCOUNT 20%
This workflow automates the entire lifecycle of collecting, filtering, summarizing, and delivering the most important daily news in technology, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and the digital industry. It functions as a fully autonomous editorial engine, combining dozens of RSS feeds, structured data processing, and an LLM (Google Gemini) to transform a large volume of raw articles into a concise, high–value daily briefing delivered straight to your inbox.

✅ 1. Scheduled Automation
The workflow begins with a Schedule Trigger, which runs at predefined intervals. Every execution generates a fresh briefing that reflects the most relevant news from the past 24 hours.
✅ 2. Massive Multi-Source RSS Collection
The workflow gathers content from over 25 curated RSS feeds covering:
🔐 Cybersecurity
(The Hacker News, Krebs on Security, SANS, CVE feeds, Google Cloud Threat Intelligence, Cisco Talos, etc.)
🤖 Artificial Intelligence
(Google Research, MIT News, AI News, OpenAI News)
💻 Technology & Digital Industry
(Il Sole 24 Ore, Cybersecurity360, Graham Cluley, and more)
⚙️ Nvidia Ecosystem
(Nvidia Newsroom, Nvidia Developer Blog, Nvidia Blog)
Each RSS feed is handled by a dedicated node, which ensures:
- source isolation
- easier debugging
- no single point of failure
The feeds are grouped using category-specific Merge nodes (Cyber1/2/3, AI, Nvidia), enabling modular scalability.
✅ 3. Unified Feed Aggregation
All category merges feed into the Merge_All node, creating a single combined dataset of articles from every source.
✅ 4. Intelligent Filtering (last 24 hours only)
The Filter node removes:
- articles older than 24 hours (based on
isoDate) - invalid items
- duplicated or redundant entries
This keeps the briefing strictly relevant to the current day.
✅ 5. Chronological Sorting
The Sort – Articles by Date node orders all remaining items in descending date order. More recent or time-sensitive news is therefore prioritized.
✅ 6. Data Normalization (JavaScript Code)
A dedicated Code node transforms all incoming items into one clean JSON object:
{
"articles": [
{
"title": "...",
"content": "...",
"link": "...",
"isoDate": "..."
}
]
}
This standardized structure becomes the input for the LLM summarization stage.
✅ 7. AI Editorial Processing – Google Gemini
The node LLM – News Summarizer is the workflow’s editorial brain.
A complex prompt instructs Gemini to behave like the editor-in-chief of a major tech newspaper, enforcing strict rules:
Selection rules:
- choose only 8–10 truly important stories
- ignore low-value content (minor product releases, clickbait, rumors…)
Relevance criteria:
- AI research & foundation models
- Big Tech developments
- cybersecurity incidents
- regulation and digital policy
- semiconductors, cloud, and infrastructure
- digital rights, governance, sovereignty
Deduplication:
If multiple feeds report the same story, only one version is kept.
Output format:
Gemini must output a valid JSON object containing:
subject: the email subject linehtml: a fully structured HTML body grouped into categories
Each news item ends with a clickable HTML source link, NEVER plaintext URLs.
This step condenses dozens of articles into a polished, editorial-grade briefing.
✅ 8. HTML Newsletter Assembly (Code Node)
The Build Final Newsletter HTML node:
- safely parses the JSON from the LLM
- cleans any ```json fences or extra text
- validates
subjectandhtmlfields - embeds the content into a modern, responsive HTML email template
The output is a single item containing:
- the final email subject
- the final HTML body Ready to be sent.
✅ 9. Automatic Email Delivery
The Send Final Digest Email (Gmail node):
- uses the generated subject
- sends the curated HTML newsletter
- delivers it to the configured recipient(s)
- uses a custom sender name (“n8n News”)
The result is a fully automated Tech & AI Daily Briefing delivered with zero manual effort.
