Latenode

Automate your weekly tech news summary with OpenAI and Gmail

This template watches a feed URL and, when a new RSS item arrives, sends title, excerpt, and link to ChatGPT for a short digest, then emails that digest with Gmail. Paste the feed URL on the RSS trigger. Connect Gmail. ChatGPT is a Latenode AI step, so you do not paste an OpenAI key.

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.
