Summarize daily RSS news and post it to Discord automatically

Every day the system reads your RSS feeds, summarizes the news with AI, and posts a digest to Discord automatically.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs.

The problem it solves

You don't have time to scan a dozen news feeds every morning, so important stories get missed or read hours too late. Your team ends up manually copying links into Discord to keep everyone in the loop.

Who it fits

A community manager or content team that needs to keep followers updated on industry news without manual reading.

How it works

  1. Every 24 hours, the system checks a list of RSS feeds saved in Google Sheets
  2. It filters out anything older than a day so nothing repeats
  3. AI reads and summarizes the new articles
  4. A digest is posted to Discord for the team or community
  5. Every article is also saved to a Google Sheet for later reference
What you get

Daily digests your community reads instead of raw feeds

Your community gets a daily digest of the latest industry news, summarized clearly and posted straight to Discord.

What you get

A daily Discord digest of summarized news plus an archived record of every article in Google Sheets.

What you need

A Google account, a Discord server, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
