This workflow creates a daily AI news digest by gathering the latest technology news on various AI topics and sending a well formatted newsletter to your Gmail inbox every morning. It curates the most important stories from trusted sources, ensuring you stay up to date with concise summaries.

It does 4 main things:

  1. Triggers automatically every day at 8 AM UTC.
  2. Generates search queries for key AI topics, filtering news from the past 24 hours.
  3. Searches reputable technology news websites to collect relevant articles.
  4. Uses an AI model to select the top 10 news pieces, formats them into a stylish HTML newsletter, and emails it to your Gmail.

What you need

  1. A Needle account to run the workflow.
  2. Access to the Needle Internet Search connector.
  3. An AI model connector configured to curate and summarize the news.
  4. A connected Gmail account authorized to send emails via Pipedream.
