Daily Tech News Curation: RSS, Vertex AI & Gmail Digest

This n8n workflow streamlines the creation and delivery of a daily tech news digest by pulling articles from 14 high-quality sources like TechCrunch, MIT Tech Review, The Verge, and Wired. It fetches RSS feeds, applies smart filtering to limit articles per source for balanced coverage, standardizes data including titles, summaries, links, and dates, and leverages Google Vertex AI to analyze and select the top 10 most relevant and trending stories. The AI ensures high-quality curation by focusing on novelty, impact, and timeliness, preventing source bias and maintaining diversity.

Key benefits include significant time savings for professionals who need to stay updated without manual browsing, professional HTML-formatted newsletters with clean design and direct links, error resilience that skips failed feeds without halting the process, and fully scheduled automation for customizable daily delivery. The workflow's advanced logic handles data cleaning, AI prompting for optimal outputs, and seamless Gmail integration for reliable sending.

Ideal use cases include marketing teams curating industry insights, developers tracking tech trends, SecOps professionals monitoring cybersecurity news (despite broad tech focus), or any business requiring automated content aggregation. It's perfect for newsletters, internal digests, or personal knowledge management, scaling effortlessly with minimal maintenance after Google Cloud and Gmail API setup.

Setup involves enabling Vertex AI in a Google Cloud project, creating a service account with necessary roles, and configuring Gmail API credentials in n8n for plug-and-play operation.
