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)
