How It Works

1. News Collection

  • Gather updates from multiple sources (RSS feeds, keyword searches).
  • Standardize format (title, link, snippet, date, source, tag).
  • Store in a central table with duplicate prevention.

2. AI Processing & Analysis

  • Classify articles into categories (e.g., Stock Market, Economy).
  • Summarize top items per category and region.
  • Add short expert-style commentary for context.
  • Output structured JSON with title, content, insights, and links.

3. Email Generation & Delivery

  • Merge summaries into professional tables.
  • Apply finance-themed design (Navy Blue, Gold, Green).
  • Include header (date + “Daily Executive Briefing”) and footer attribution.
  • Send via Gmail with HTML body and subject line including date.

Requirements:

n8n Version: 1.113.0+ (for Data Table feature), 2.4.0+ for Auto Create Data Table (or you need to create manually).

APIs & Credentials:

  • SerpAPI: For Google Search (free tier available) - if you need to use Google Search source.
  • OpenAI API: GPT-4.1 Nano access
  • Google Gemini API: Gemini Flash access
  • Gmail OAuth2: For sending emails

Optional:

  • Custom RSS feeds (public, no auth required)

Cost Optimization:

API Usage per Day:

  • SerpAPI: 2-4 searches (free tier: 100/month)
  • OpenAI: ~50 classification calls (~$0.01)
  • Gemini: ~2 summarization calls (~$0.005)
  • Total: < $0.02/day (~$0.60/month)

Cost Reduction Tips:

  • Use free Gemini tier (2M tokens/day)
  • Batch classification (reduce API calls)
  • Adjust article limits (fewer = cheaper)
  • Use Claude Haiku instead of GPT-4.1 Nano (even cheaper)
