Legal Tech AI Weekly Digest: n8n RSS → GPT-4o, Gemini, WordPress

Turn legal-tech news into a polished weekly email digest—automatically. This n8n workflow pulls articles from Reddit, Hacker News, and Google News RSS, summarizes them with OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini), generates matching images with Google Gemini, publishes them to WordPress, and emails a branded HTML newsletter to subscribers stored in Microsoft Excel via Outlook.

What this workflow does

• Weekly schedule trigger: Runs on a set weekly cadence.
• Collects and normalizes legal-tech sources: Reads RSS from Reddit (r/legaltech), Hacker News (hnrss.org), and Google News, then normalizes items into a consistent article schema.
• Merges, deduplicates, and selects stories: Combines all sources, deduplicates by link, filters out articles older than 60 days, and randomly selects seven items with at least two from each source.
• AI summarization with “why it matters”: Uses OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini) to generate a newsletter intro plus structured JSON summaries for each selected article, including a “why it matters” note.
• AI image creation + WordPress publishing: Builds image prompts for the first two articles, generates images with the Google Gemini community node, uploads images to the WordPress media library, and captures public image URLs.
• Branded HTML newsletter + email delivery: Renders a responsive HTML digest using the AI summaries and WordPress image URLs, then sends it to each recipient from an Excel table via Microsoft Outlook.

Use cases
