Send a daily only-new AI news digest from AIHOT and RSS to Telegram, Gmail, or Notion

Quick overview

This workflow runs daily to fetch the last 24 hours of AIHOT news items across selected categories, scores and deduplicates them for a Chinese “learn AI” audience, and outputs a plain-text Top‑N digest you can send to Telegram, email, Notion, or another channel.

How it works

1. Runs on a daily schedule.
2. Loads configuration (API base URL, category list, and digest size) and splits the categories into separate requests.
3. Calls the AIHOT API (aihot.news) to fetch up to 40 items per category from the last 24 hours.
4. Deduplicates items, filters out unwanted topics (for example funding or legal news), and calculates a relevance score based on keywords and item popularity signals.
5. Sorts the items by score, keeps the top N results, and formats them into a dated plain-text digest containing scores, titles, and URLs.
6. Leaves the digest in the final output so you can connect a delivery node (for example Telegram, Gmail, Notion, Slack, or Discord) to publish it.

Setup

1. Review and edit the configuration values (categories and digest size) to match your interests.
2. Ensure outbound HTTP access to https://aihot.news from your n8n instance and keep AIHOT’s rate limit in mind when adjusting limits or schedule.
3. Replace the final placeholder step with your preferred delivery integration (for example Telegram bot credentials, Gmail OAuth, Notion OAuth, or Slack/Discord credentials) and map the message body to {{$json.digest}}.
