Daily Gmail Digest: AI Summary Sent Every Afternoon

This n8n workflow streamlines your email routine by running every afternoon at 4 PM. It calculates the start of the current day, retrieves all unread or new emails from your Gmail inbox received that day, and uses GPT (OpenAI or similar AI) to intelligently summarize key points from each email. The summaries are then aggregated into a clean, organized digest email that's sent directly to your specified address.

The primary benefits include massive time savings—no more sifting through dozens of emails manually. You get a concise overview of your day's communications, highlighting urgent matters, action items, and notable content, allowing you to focus on responses rather than constant checking. It's customizable for time zone, AI provider, and digest recipient, with built-in notes for easy setup.

Ideal use cases: Busy professionals, executives, or teams wanting inbox zero without interruptions; sales reps tracking leads via email; content creators monitoring feedback; or anyone overwhelmed by email volume. Setup takes 10-15 minutes: connect Gmail, add AI API key, set recipient—perfect for productivity boosts in personal or business workflows.
