Introduction

This workflow automates the process of creating daily YouTube news scripts for AI and tech channels. It gathers the latest, high-quality news stories, analyzes them, and crafts engaging, production-ready scripts tailored to a channel's unique brand voice and sponsor requirements.

It performs several key actions:

  1. Triggers every day at a scheduled time to start the workflow.
  2. Searches the internet for tech news articles from trusted sources published in the last 24 hours.
  3. Uses an AI agent to analyze and score the news articles, filtering to the top three stories based on viral potential and technical depth.
  4. Retrieves channel-specific brand voice guidelines, banned topics, and sponsor integration segments from a private knowledge base.
  5. Merges the news data and channel guidelines.
  6. Employs an AI model to write a complete, polished YouTube script following a detailed structure and matched tone.
  7. Runs the script through a quality review AI that assesses retention hooks, pattern interrupts, and viewer engagement elements, triggering up to three revision loops if needed.

What you need

  1. Access to the Needle platform with scheduling and AI capabilities.
  2. Connectivity to Needle's internet search API with access to high-authority tech news sources.
  3. AI models configured for news analysis, scriptwriting, and quality review.
  4. A private knowledge base collection containing the YouTube channel's brand voice, banned topics, and current sponsor script.
  5. Connected Notion and Slack accounts for saving the final script and notifying your team.

Notes

  2. Make sure your private knowledge base is up to date with current sponsor details and brand guidelines for accurate integration.
