Deliver a daily, AI picked news brief to leaders who need quick updates. It collects headlines from two sources, ranks the top five for a senior decision maker, and sends a clean email summary every morning. Ideal for executives who want signal over noise.

The flow starts on a schedule. It reads two RSS feeds, merges the stories, removes duplicates and bad items, and sorts by publish time. ChatGPT chooses the five most relevant links. For each chosen link, the flow loads the web page, pulls a short subtitle with CSS rules for each site, cleans the text, and builds a right to left HTML email. The date is set to Israel time, and the email is sent by SMTP.

Results include a consistent brief with less manual reading and fewer distractions. Setup needs an OpenAI API key and an email account with SMTP. Update feed URLs, the CSS selectors, and the email template to match your brand. Expect a clear summary in the inbox at the same time each day with a strong cut in prep time.

1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
2. You'll need accounts with OpenAI and Gmail. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
3. Open the Schedule Trigger and set the run time that fits your morning routine. If needed, set the timezone to match your team.
4. Double click each RSS Feed node and confirm the feed URLs for your sources. Click Execute Node to make sure items load as expected.
5. Check the merge and clean steps: run the Merged RSS, Remove NaN, Sort List, and Clean List nodes one by one. Confirm that duplicates are removed and the list is sorted by date.
6. Open the ChatGPT 4o node. In the 'Credential to connect with' dropdown, click 'Create new credential' and paste your OpenAI API key from your OpenAI account. Keep the model as gpt 4o and JSON output enabled.
7. Test the ChatGPT 4o node with sample data and confirm it returns five selected articles in JSON. Adjust the system message if you want different selection rules.
8. Verify the HTTP Request and Extract Text nodes. Execute one article and check that the CSS selectors return a subtitle. Update selectors if the source sites change their HTML.
