AI-Curated Executive News Digests: Personalised Insights with RSS, OpenAI & Gmail Automation

Personalised Executive News via AI & Gmail Automation

Automation at a Glance

 

Objective:

 

Deliver daily or weekly news summaries tailored to executive interests, automated through AI-curated sources and delivered directly via email.

 

Core Workflow:

 

 

Key Result:

 

Executives receive timely, relevant insights without information overload, boosting decision-making speed and strategic alignment without human curation.

In fast-moving industries, access to relevant insights isn’t optional; it’s strategic.

 

But most executives don’t have time to sift through 50 tabs, filter headlines, or scroll endless feeds. Curated newsletters often miss the mark, and internal

research teams can’t scale personalisation for every stakeholder.

 

That’s where AI automation steps in.

 

By combining RSS feeds, GPT-4o, and simple automation tools like Zapier, you can deliver timely, summarised, and hyper-relevant news digests straight to executive inboxes, without touching a keyboard.

 

This isn’t a generic newsletter. It’s a dynamic intel pipeline tailored to each executive’s domain, interests, and decision flow.

 

In this blog, we’ll break down the full automation setup, from sourcing and summarising to formatting and delivery, so your team stays informed, aligned, and ahead of the curve.

Use Case Overview

 

What’s Being Automated?

 

Personalised news digests that aggregate, summarise, and email key industry updates to executives, based on their focus areas, keywords, and formats they prefer.

 

The Problem:

 

 

The Solution:

 

 

Ideal For:

 

 

What You Get:

 

Tool Stack + How Each Tool Drives Value

 

1. RSS Feeds → Real-Time Content Aggregation

 

Pulls news from trusted sources, industry blogs, government updates, analyst sites, based on keywords, topics, or verticals.

 

Keeps the content fresh and domain-relevant without human monitoring.

 

2. GPT-4o → Summarisation & Categorisation Engine

 

Summarises long-form content into digestible takeaways, restructures headlines, and sorts updates into thematic sections like Market Trends or Competitor Activity.

 

Reduces clutter while surfacing high-value intel for executives.

 

3. Google Sheets → Digest Blueprint

 

Acts as a content staging layer to store summaries, sort updates by category or priority, and flag content by recipient.

 

Enables segmentation and templating before sending.

 

4. Zapier / Make → Automation Orchestration

 

Connects all moving parts, fetches new RSS entries, triggers GPT summarisation, populates email templates, and dispatches updates via Gmail, Slack, or CRM.

 

Ensures your digests run like clockwork without manual touchpoints.

 

5. Gmail / Outlook / Slack → Delivery Channels

 

Delivers polished summaries in digest format to individual inboxes or team channels with personalisation tokens (name, team, focus area).

 

Ensures high open rates and relevance, right insights to the right eyes.

Automation Flow Snapshot

 

Phase Function Tools Involved
Source Aggregation Pull relevant content in real time via topic-specific feeds RSS Feeds, Feedly, Webhooks
Content Summarisation Use AI to summarise, title, and cluster insights GPT-4o, OpenAI API
Digest Structuring Organise summaries into a digest layout with categories Google Sheets or Airtable
Personalisation Layer Customise by executive/team/vertical with tags or filters Sheet formulas, filters, or conditional logic
Automated Delivery Send to email or Slack with branding and smart formatting Gmail, Outlook, Slack + Zapier or Make

 

This automation runs daily or weekly, delivering executive-grade insights with no human assembly required.

Strategic Benefits of AI-Curated Executive News Digests

 

1. Deliver Relevance, Not Just Information

 

Executives don’t need more news; they need filtered, actionable updates aligned with their priorities. AI curates signals from noise, personalising updates by domain (e.g., fintech trends, competitor moves, policy shifts).

 

 

2. Replace Manual Curation with Smart Automation

 

Internal teams often spend hours aggregating news or preparing briefing notes. This workflow automates everything from sourcing to delivery, freeing analysts and comms teams to focus on strategy, not compilation.

 

 

3. Reduce Cognitive Load for Decision-Makers

 

Summaries written by GPT-4o are concise and structured, making it easier for executives to grasp key points in seconds. No more skimming articles or losing time in cluttered dashboards.

 

 

4. Keep Teams Aligned on Market Movements

 

When every CXO or business head receives updates relevant to their vertical, delivered at the same time, strategic alignment across the org improves. Teams stay aware of what’s changing and why it matters.

 

 

5. Scale Thoughtful Reporting Without Headcount

 

This system can scale across business units, geographies, or even clients, each with tailored feeds and summaries. One setup supports 5, 50, or 500 recipients.

 

 

6. Boost Email Engagement and Reading Rates

 

Unlike mass newsletters, these digests are short, specific, and timely. Combined with personalisation (e.g., name, role, division), they see higher open and click-through rates.

FAQs

How are the news sources selected and filtered?

We use RSS feeds from reputable industry sites, journals, and newsletters. You can define keyword filters (e.g., “fintech M&A,” “BIS regulations”) to ensure only relevant updates are pulled. You can also include or exclude sources based on credibility or preference.

How does GPT-4o summarise long articles effectively?

GPT-4o is fine-tuned to generate concise, insight-rich summaries. Instead of generic bullet points, it extracts strategic value, trends, implications, key numbers, and clusters the content by theme. The result is executive-ready copy that’s both informative and digestible.

Can I personalise the digest per executive or department?

Yes. Each digest can be segmented by audience, CXOs, Product Heads, Marketing Leads, etc., using custom rules in Google Sheets or Airtable. You can automate different versions based on tags like “region,” “function,” or “industry vertical.”

How often are the digests sent?

The system supports multiple cadences: real-time (hourly), daily, weekly, or custom intervals. The setup also allows for weekday-only dispatches or emergency “trigger-based” alerts (e.g., major regulatory change detected).

Does this replace analyst briefings?

It supplements them. Routine updates and contextual news can be handled by AI, freeing analysts to focus on deeper synthesis, commentary, and competitive interpretation. It’s a force multiplier, not a replacement.

Is there a way to include internal insights along with external news?

Absolutely. You can append internal updates (sales trends, product launches, performance snapshots) from Google Sheets, CRMs, or BI dashboards. These can be formatted into the same digest structure for a hybrid view of internal + external intelligence.

Can upGrowth help us implement and maintain this system?

Yes. upGrowth builds custom AI-curated digest pipelines tailored to your teams’ intel needs. From RSS mapping and GPT prompt design to formatting, scheduling, and team-wide rollout, we ensure it’s turnkey, scalable, and brand-aligned.
