Who is this for

Tech bloggers, content creators, and site owners who want a fully automated daily news column without writing a single word.

What this workflow does

  • A schedule trigger fires daily at 8 AM and pulls articles from four RSS feeds (BBC Tech, The Verge, Ars Technica, TechCrunch).
  • All feeds are merged, normalized to a common schema, filtered to the last 24 hours, sorted by date, and capped at 10.
  • A Code node compiles the articles into a digest, which is passed to an OpenAI-powered AI agent.
  • The agent picks the most newsworthy story (or combines 2–3 related ones), fetches full article text via a custom tool, and writes an original 600–1000 word article.
  • The AI output is parsed into a title and HTML body, then posted as a draft to WordPress.

How to set up

  1. Add your OpenAI API key under Credentials → OpenAI. The workflow uses gpt-5.1 by default — swap to any chat model in the "OpenAI Chat Model" node.
  2. Add your WordPress API credentials (site URL, username, and application password).
  3. Activate the workflow — it runs daily at 8 AM.

Requirements

  • OpenAI account and API key
  • WordPress site with application password enabled

How to customize

  • Swap or add RSS feed URLs by duplicating an RSS node and connecting it to the Merge node (increase numberInputs accordingly).
  • Change the Limit node value to control how many articles the AI reviews.
  • Switch the WordPress post status from draft to publish for immediate publishing.
