Introduction

This workflow automatically gathers the top AI-related posts from X (formerly Twitter) every day and sends you a neatly designed email digest. It collects trending stories about popular AI companies and topics, summarizes them with insightful commentary, and delivers the newsletter straight to your Gmail inbox.

It performs these core steps:

  1. Runs daily at a preset time to trigger the workflow.
  2. Generates search queries for key AI topics filtering posts from the previous day.
  3. Uses these queries to search the internet for recent AI-related posts.
  4. Processes and de-duplicates the collected posts, extracting relevant information.
  5. Passes the data to an AI model that crafts a stylish, mobile-friendly HTML email newsletter summarizing the top stories.
  6. Sends the final HTML newsletter email to your specified Gmail address.

What you need

  1. A Needle account to build and run this workflow.
  2. Access to Needle internet search and AI summarization nodes.
  3. A Gmail account with authorized access for sending emails.
  4. Basic familiarity with scheduling and email template settings.
