Automated Notion database of tech news with GPT-4 summaries

This automation workflow fetches tech news articles from The Verge and TechCrunch RSS feeds, generates concise summaries using a large language model, and saves the organized content into a Notion database.

It automatically deduplicates articles, extracts full text, and creates Notion pages with key metadata like title, summary, date, URL, and source. The workflow is designed to run on a daily schedule or manually for testing, providing an efficient way for tech enthusiasts and content creators to stay up-to-date on industry news and trends.
