Write daily tech news with OpenAI using RSS feeds and WordPress

Who is this for

Tech bloggers, content creators, and site owners who want a fully automated daily news column without writing a single word.

What this workflow does

- A schedule trigger fires daily at 8 AM and pulls articles from four RSS feeds (BBC Tech, The Verge, Ars Technica, TechCrunch). - All feeds are merged, normalized to a common schema, filtered to the last 24 hours, sorted by date, and capped at 10. - A Code node compiles the articles into a digest, which is passed to an OpenAI-powered AI agent. - The agent picks the most newsworthy story (or combines 2–3 related ones), fetches full article text via a custom tool, and writes an original 600–1000 word article. - The AI output is parsed into a title and HTML body, then posted as a draft to WordPress.

How to set up

1. Add your OpenAI API key under Credentials → OpenAI. The workflow uses gpt-5.1 by default — swap to any chat model in the "OpenAI Chat Model" node. 2. Add your WordPress API credentials (site URL, username, and application password). 3. Activate the workflow — it runs daily at 8 AM.

Requirements

- OpenAI account and API key - WordPress site with application password enabled
