1.1 Workflow description

Title
Post AI news to Telegram with Google Gemini and human approval
Workflow name
Post AI news to Telegram with Google Gemini and human approval

How it works This workflow automates the curation and publishing of AI news to a Telegram channel. It follows a four-stage process:

Aggregation: Monitors RSS feeds from VentureBeat and The AI Blog on a daily schedule.

Filtering: Merges the feeds and uses a code snippet to select only the single most recent, high-quality article.

Summarization: Sends the article data to Google Gemini, which generates a professional, emoji-rich summary formatted for social media.

Human-in-the-loop Approval: Instead of auto-posting, it sends the draft to a private Telegram chat. The post is only published to the public channel once a human clicks "Approve."

Set up steps Time estimate: 10–15 minutes.

Credentials: You will need to connect your Google Gemini (PaLM) API key and your Telegram Bot API token.

Telegram IDs: Ensure you have the Chat ID for both your private approval chat and your public destination channel.

Schedule: The trigger is currently set to 3:56 PM daily; adjust this in the "Schedule Trigger" node to fit your preferred posting time.
