Summarize article URLs with Google Gemini AI from WordPress and blogs

Description

This n8n template automates the extraction and summarization of long-form articles, blogs, or WordPress posts using an interactive Chat Interface and Gemini AI. If you like staying informed but want to reduce daily reading time and bypass webpage clutter, this workflow is perfect for you.

How it works

Input phase:** You paste an article URL directly into the n8n Chat interface. The workflow verifies the format to ensure it's a valid link.
Extraction phase:* The *HTTP Request* node fetches the raw webpage. Then, the *HTML Extract** node acts as a smart filter, stripping away ads, navigation bars, comments, and footers to isolate the pure article text.
Summarization phase:* The cleaned content is sent to an *AI Agent** powered by Google Gemini. Guided by a customized system prompt, the AI generates a structured, bulleted summary highlighting the core insights of the article.

How to use

Connect credentials: Link your Google Gemini API key in the Chat Model node.
Test the flow: Open the "Chat" panel in your n8n workspace.
Input data: Paste a blog or news URL and hit send.
Activate: Save and activate the workflow to make it permanently accessible.

Requirements

n8n Version:* Built and tested on *n8n 2.9.4+*. *(Note: You may encounter errors on older versions. It is highly recommended to update to the latest n8n version to use this workflow effectively).
Google Gemini API Key:** Required for the AI summarization step.

Customizing this workflow

Change the input source:* Swap the Chat Trigger for a *Telegram Bot* or *Slack** trigger to summarize links directly from your mobile messaging apps.
Refine the AI output:** Edit the system prompt inside the AI Agent to change the language, tone, or format (e.g., requesting a 3-sentence summary or a Twitter-ready thread).
Store the data:** Add a Google Sheets or Notion node at the end to build a personal knowledge base of all the articles you've summarized.
