How to build a daily industry news digest

We love seeing creators and builders put web data to use.

So, we were excited when Anshika Khandelwal shared this fantastic workflow to build an automated daily AI funding announcement newsletter.

Chicago-based Anshika is data and AI analyst at Humanitarians AI, a Boston-based non-profit promoting ethical, open-source AI solutions for public good.

When we met Anshika at Extract Summit Austin recently, she said she wanted to build a way to help her colleagues stay across the latest AI trends.

A couple of weeks later, she had used n8n, a leading workflow automation tool, and Zyte API to pull news stories from the biggest tech blogs, categorize the latest fundings and send a morning email newsletter digest.

With Zyte, you can extract data from around the web.

Anshika uses Zyte API via n8n’s HTTP Request node to check TechCrunch and VentureBeat for new AI stories at 9am every day. She:

• merges structured article data.

• filters articles for investment-related keywords.

• applies an industry classifier.

• pipes these results into a growing database.

• sends an email of auto-curated funding links.

… just in time to kick off every work day.

“It runs automatically,” Anshika says. “It saves you 10-plus hours per week - you never miss funding news.”

She calls the tool Mycroft Funding Intelligence Agent.

Zyte API includes features to automatically extract clean article content. API calls can be made from traditional code environments, as well as from low-code, visual integration platforms like n8n.

Check out Anshika’s walk-through video on YouTube and build your own n8n workflow now using the code she has shared.
