Latenode

Automate press release drafting with Google Docs and ChatGPT

This template watches a Google Docs folder for a new brief, reads the document, and asks ChatGPT to draft a press release from those notes.

It then appends the draft to the same Google Doc so you can edit and publish. Connect Google Docs and point the trigger at the folder you drop briefs into. ChatGPT is a Latenode AI step.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
