TechCrunch AI News Scraper, Classifier & Telegram Notifier

This n8n workflow automates the collection and processing of the latest Artificial Intelligence articles from TechCrunch. It triggers daily at 6AM Bangkok time, extracts URLs and publish dates from the AI category page, filters for articles published yesterday to prevent duplicates, fetches full article content, and uses OpenAI's GPT-4.1-nano via LangChain to generate a Thai summary, assign a journalism quality score (out of 100), and categorize into one of 9 predefined news categories.

The processed data— including title, URL, date, summary, score, and category—is structured and appended to a Google Sheets spreadsheet for easy tracking and analysis. Simultaneously, a concise summary is sent to a specified Telegram group or channel, keeping your team informed without manual effort. This setup is ideal for content curators, market researchers, or AI enthusiasts monitoring industry news.

Benefits include significant time savings on manual scraping and analysis, consistent daily updates, multilingual output (Thai summaries), and seamless integration across web scraping, AI processing, spreadsheets, and messaging. Use cases span news aggregation for newsletters, competitive intelligence for AI businesses, or automated research feeds for teams in Thailand or SEA markets. Setup takes 10-15 minutes: connect Google Sheets OAuth2, Telegram, and OpenAI credentials, then update sheet ID, chat ID, and deploy.
