Filter & Summarize AI News from TechCrunch to Slack using OpenAI

This n8n workflow automates the process of staying updated on AI developments by scraping recent TechCrunch articles, filtering for AI-relevant content using OpenAI, and delivering concise summaries to Slack channels. It runs on a daily schedule, using Firecrawl to extract clean markdown from articles while handling anti-bot measures and JavaScript rendering.

An AI research assistant powered by OpenAI analyzes each article to determine relevance to artificial intelligence, machine learning, AI companies, or related technologies. Non-relevant articles are automatically filtered out, ensuring only high-value content proceeds.

For qualifying articles, OpenAI creates focused 3-bullet-point summaries capturing key insights, which are then posted to your specified Slack channel alongside the original title and link. This saves time for AI product teams, investors, marketers, executives, and developers tracking industry trends without manual browsing.

Benefits include reduced research overhead, curated briefings, and real-time awareness of AI breakthroughs, funding, and tools. Setup requires Firecrawl API, OpenAI credentials, and Slack webhook.
