AI Trend Newsletter

2 min read
Introducing AI Trend Newsletter—an automated newsletter system built for B2B SaaS teams that want to keep their clients ahead of the curve in AI innovation. From sourcing the freshest articles to summarizing and styling them, this powerful workflow turns a week’s worth of AI news into a polished, engaging newsletter.

How It Works:

Content Discovery & Filtering

  • Kicks off weekly using a Schedule Trigger.

  • Pulls new articles from top AI-focused RSS feeds (e.g., KnowTechie, AIBusiness, Futurism).

  • Filters for fresh content only (published in the last 3 days) and skips duplicates using Airtable cross-checks.

Summarization & Enrichment

  • Each article is summarized using GPT-4o-mini (max 1000 characters).

  • A research module runs focused queries via OpenAI’s web search and generates bullet-point insights:

    • Real-time stats

    • Expert quotes

    • Use cases & implications

  • Ensures each section provides value-driven takeaways, not just summaries.

Content Generation

  • Combines the summary, insights, and a writing framework like Problem-Agitate-Solve or Insight-Impact-Action.

  • Produces 200–300 word sections with:

    • Intro paragraph

    • 4–6 bullet-point takeaways

    • CTA linking to full article

  • Aligned with brand tone and voice pulled directly from Airtable guidelines.

Image Creation

  • Uses GPT to classify topic type (e.g., strategic, conceptual, human-centric).

  • Generates email-optimized 600x400px visuals in matching styles (e.g., Soft Minimalist for conceptual topics).

  • Stored with Airtable records and embedded in the final HTML template.

Content Storage & Approval

  • All article summaries, insights, images, and newsletter copy are saved in Airtable.

  • Status flags guide internal review before publishing.

  • Fields include:

    • sourceHeadline, sourceSummary, newsletterCopy, postImage, Status.

Newsletter Compilation & Delivery

  • A Code node compiles 2–3 approved articles into an HTML newsletter template.

  • Dynamic UTM tracking can be added to article links for analytics.
