What This Workflow Does
Staying current with AI developments is crucial for professionals, but manually researching and creating content consumes valuable hours. This automation solves that by building a complete AI news curation system that works while you sleep.
Every morning, it scans trusted AI news sources via RSS feeds, filters for the most relevant articles, uses OpenAI's GPT to generate insightful summaries, and crafts LinkedIn-ready posts in your preferred tone. The final content is emailed to you for quick review and posting, establishing you as a consistent thought leader with minimal daily effort.
How It Works
1. Scheduled Trigger & RSS Collection
A schedule trigger runs daily at your preferred time (typically morning). It connects to multiple RSS feeds from AI research publications, industry blogs, and news sites, fetching the latest articles published in the last 24 hours.
2. Content Filtering & Processing
The workflow filters articles based on relevance keywords, removes duplicates, and extracts key information: titles, summaries, publication dates, and source links. This ensures only high-quality, relevant AI news moves forward.
3. AI Summarization with OpenAI GPT
Each selected article is sent to OpenAI's GPT model with custom instructions to create concise, engaging summaries. The AI adds context, explains why the development matters, and highlights potential implications for professionals.
4. LinkedIn Post Generation
Using your brand voice guidelines, the system transforms AI summaries into polished LinkedIn posts. It adds appropriate hashtags, formats for readability, and includes calls-to-action to encourage engagement and discussion.
5. Email Delivery for Review
The generated posts are sent to your email with clear subject lines and formatting. You can quickly review, make any tweaks, and copy-paste to LinkedIn—or connect directly via LinkedIn API for fully automated posting.
Pro tip: Customize the OpenAI prompts to match your specific expertise area (like "AI for marketing" or "machine learning engineering") to create more targeted, valuable content for your niche audience.
