How To Be An Expert In Anything

An AI automation can consolidate multiple newsletters from a specific niche into a single, personalized daily digest, ensuring comprehensive information access without overwhelming email volume.

• Consolidate multiple newsletters into one daily digest using AI automation.

• Utilize a dedicated Gmail, N8n, and Google Gemini for setup and processing.

• Automate content aggregation, summary, delivery, and email management for effortless expertise.

This tutorial outlines a method for building an AI automation to summarize numerous daily newsletters within a chosen niche into one digestible email. By leveraging tools like N8n and Google Gemini, users can stay fully informed on a topic without reading individual newsletters, effectively becoming an expert in their field. The process involves setting up a dedicated email, subscribing to newsletters, and configuring an automated workflow to read, aggregate, summarize, and deliver the consolidated content.

Setting up Dedicated Email

• 00:00:39 The first step in creating a consolidated newsletter digest involves setting up a new, dedicated Gmail account. This email address will be used exclusively to subscribe to all desired newsletters within a specific niche, such as finance. This ensures all relevant newsletters are funneled into a single inbox, ready for the automation process.

Building the Automation with N8n

• 00:03:14 The core automation is built using N8n, a powerful automation builder. The workflow is scheduled to run daily, initiating by reading all unread messages in the dedicated Gmail account. Connecting N8n to Gmail requires configuring a Google Cloud project and setting up OAuth consent, which can be the most complex part of the setup, though detailed instructions are provided.

AI-Powered Content Aggregation

• 00:13:03 After reading emails, the automation aggregates all newsletter content (in HTML format) into a single, massive text document. This aggregated content is then fed into an AI agent powered by Google Gemini, which is instructed to summarize all reported news, avoid duplication, include URLs, and sort news by popularity, without any additional conversational context.

Automated Delivery and Management

• 00:19:23 The summarized news, initially output in Markdown, is converted back to HTML for optimal email presentation and then sent to the user's main email address. A crucial final step ensures that all processed emails in the dedicated inbox are marked as 'read' so that the automation only processes new emails during subsequent runs, preventing redundant summaries and keeping the inbox clean.
