Daily AI News Commentary Workflow: Gemini, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon

Turn yesterday’s headlines into daily posts—automatically

This n8n workflow automatically pulls fresh Google News stories for your keywords each morning, asks Google Gemini to select one and write platform-specific commentary, generates an image, and publishes to LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Mastodon via PostWire—then logs everything to Google Sheets with Gmail alerts.

What this workflow does

Built to run on a schedule and keep your social presence consistent, it:

• Runs daily at 8:00 and loads your news keywords, voice, and other settings.
• Reads Google News RSS feeds for each keyword, keeps only recent items, removes stories already seen in earlier executions, and selects the 10 newest links.
• Sends the shortlist to Google Gemini to pick one headline (or decide none are worth commenting on) and produce LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Mastodon commentary plus an image prompt.
• If a story is selected, uses Gemini again to generate an illustration and publishes the image + text to all three networks through PostWire.
• Appends results to Google Sheets with the “posted” entry, including the story and take, plus platform URLs—only when all networks succeed.
• On any failure (feed issues, no story selected, image generation failure, or partial posting), logs the problem to Google Sheets and sends a Gmail email describing what to fix.

Use cases

• SaaS operators who want a daily AI news commentary routine without manual writing.
• Automation engineers testing multi-platform publishing workflows using n8n, RSS, LLM generation, and error handling.
• Teams needing consistent thought-leadership posts across LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Mastodon from Google News.
