Summarize daily tech news from RSS feeds into Notion automatically

Pulls new articles from tech news feeds, summarizes them with AI, and saves them into a Notion database.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each new article in the feed.

Pattern: Multiple Instances without Synchronization (12)

The problem it solves

Keeping up with tech news means checking multiple sites every day, reading full articles, and manually copying anything worth remembering into your notes. Most of that time goes to articles that turn out to be duplicates or not relevant.

Who it fits

Teams or individuals who need a running digest of industry news without reading every article themselves.

How it works

  1. The automation checks tech news feeds on a schedule
  2. New articles are compared against what's already saved to skip duplicates
  3. The full article text is pulled and cleaned up
  4. An AI writes a short summary of each new article
  5. The summary is saved into a Notion database
What you get

Headlines you catch without opening a single article

You get a running digest of tech news summarized and organized in Notion automatically.

What you get

A running Notion database of summarized tech articles, updated automatically each day.

What you need

A Notion account and an OpenAI account.

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.
