Create personalized news digests with GPT-5.1, SerpAPI, and Telegram delivery

Overview

Staying up to date with fast-moving topics like AI, machine learning, or your specific industry can be overwhelming. You either drown in daily noise or miss important developments between weekly digests.

This AI News Agent workflow delivers a curated newsletter only when there's genuinely relevant news. I use it myself for AI and n8n topics.

Key features:

- AI-driven send decision: An AI agent evaluates whether today's news is worth sending. - Deduplication: Compares candidate articles against past newsletters to avoid repetition. - Real-time news: Uses [SerpAPI's DuckDuckGo News engine](https://serpapi.com/duckduckgo-news-api) for fresh results. - Frequency guardrails: Configure minimum and maximum days between newsletters.

In this post, I'll walk you through the complete workflow, explain each component, and show you how to set it up yourself.
