Title: Create daily AI news digest and send to Telegram

Description:

Stay ahead of the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence landscape without the information overload. This workflow acts as your personal AI news editor, automatically curating, summarizing, and visualizing the top stories of the day, delivered directly to your Telegram.

It goes beyond simple RSS aggregation by using an AI Agent to rewrite headlines and summaries into a digestible format and includes a "Chat Mode" where you can ask follow-up questions about the news directly within the n8n interface.

Who is it for

  • AI Enthusiasts & Researchers: Keep up with the latest papers and releases without manually checking multiple sites.
  • Tech Professionals: Get a morning briefing on industry trends to start your day informed.
  • Content Creators: Find trending topics for newsletters or social media posts effortlessly.

How it works

  1. News Aggregation: Every morning at 8:00 AM, the workflow fetches RSS feeds from top tech sources (Google News AI, The Verge, and TechCrunch).
  2. Smart Filtering: A Code node aggregates the articles, removes duplicates, and ranks them by recency to select the top 5 stories.
  3. AI Summarization: An AI Agent (powered by OpenAI) analyzes the selected stories and writes a concise, engaging summary for each.
  4. Visual Generation: DALL-E generates a unique, futuristic header image based on the day's news context.
  5. Delivery: The digest is formatted with Markdown and emojis, then sent to your specified Telegram chat.
  6. Interactive Chat: A separate branch allows you to chat with an AI Agent via the n8n Chat interface to discuss the news or ask general AI questions.

How to set up

  1. Configure Credentials:
    • Set up your OpenAI API credential.
    • Set up your Telegram API credential.
  2. Get Telegram Chat ID:
    • Create a bot with @BotFather on Telegram.
    • Send a message to your bot.
    • Use @userinfobot to find your numeric Chat ID.
  3. Update Workflow Settings:
    • Open the Workflow Configuration node.
    • Paste your Chat ID into the telegramChatId value field.
  4. Activate: Toggle the workflow to "Active" to enable the daily schedule.

Requirements

  • n8n Version: Must support LangChain nodes.
  • OpenAI Account: API Key with access to GPT-4o-mini (or preferred model) and DALL-E 3.
  • Telegram Account: To create a bot and receive messages.

How to customize

  • Change News Sources: Edit the RSS URLs in the Workflow Configuration node to track different topics (e.g., Crypto, Finance, Sports).
  • Adjust Personality: Modify the system prompt in the AI News Summarizer Agent node to change the tone of the summaries (e.g., "explain it like I'm 5" or "highly technical").
  • Change Schedule: Update the Daily 8 AM Trigger node to your preferred time zone and frequency.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/12048/12048.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
