The Problem

Staying on top of breaking news is time-consuming. Manually checking multiple news sites, reading full articles, and summarizing key points eats up hours every day. The goal: build an automated pipeline that pulls news from multiple sources, processes it with AI, and delivers concise summaries straight to WhatsApp in real time.

What I Built

A real-time news pipeline using n8n and OpenAI that automatically collects, summarizes, and delivers news updates.
Key features:
Automated news collection from BBC and Dawn, pulling articles as they publish
AI-powered summarization using OpenAI to condense full articles into key takeaways
Real-time WhatsApp delivery so summaries arrive instantly on your phone
Content filtering to focus on relevant topics and skip noise
Scheduled and event-triggered runs so the pipeline stays current throughout the day

The Tech Stack

n8n for workflow orchestration and scheduling
OpenAI for article summarization and content processing
Web Automation for scraping and pulling news content from source sites

The Result

Instead of spending 30+ minutes scanning news sites, the user gets concise AI-generated summaries delivered directly to WhatsApp. The pipeline runs continuously, catching breaking stories and delivering them within minutes of publication.
