Automate RSS Summaries to Slack with TTS Audio & OpenAI

Transform Japanese productivity content into actionable insights with this comprehensive RSS automation workflow that delivers summarized articles to Slack with text-to-speech audio conversion, powered by OpenAI's advanced language processing.

What this workflow does

This intelligent automation monitors multiple Japanese RSS feeds including Roomie, Lifehacker, and note platforms, automatically collecting productivity and lifehack articles published within the last 24 hours. The workflow merges RSS sources, filters content for relevance, and uses OpenAI to evaluate articles based on practical usefulness, reproducibility, and clarity—selecting only the top 10 most valuable pieces.

For each selected article, the system fetches full content, cleans and extracts readable text, then generates structured Japanese summaries including target audience analysis, practical use cases, and expected outcomes. The workflow goes beyond text by converting summaries into natural, audio-friendly narration using AI text-to-speech, enabling hands-free consumption during commuting or multitasking.

Perfect for these use cases

• Japanese-speaking professionals staying current with productivity trends and workflow optimization techniques
• Remote teams wanting curated efficiency insights delivered directly to their Slack workspace
• Busy professionals who prefer audio content consumption during commutes or while multitasking
• Learning enthusiasts seeking actionable time management strategies rather than abstract motivational content
• Organizations promoting continuous improvement through regular knowledge sharing
