Weekly Newsletter Digest

Example prompt: "Every Friday, collect the top articles from these 5 RSS feeds, summarise each in 2 sentences, and draft a newsletter in Google Docs."

How to automate newsletter curation with GloriaMundo

The Problem

Running a curated newsletter means reading dozens of industry sources through the week, bookmarking the best pieces, then sitting down to select the top 5-10 articles, write a short summary for each, format everything into a template, and send it. The reading alone takes 3-4 hours a week if you follow 50 or more sources, and the assembly session adds another 1-2 hours. The result is that many newsletter creators fall behind schedule or let quality slip because the curation overhead is too high to sustain weekly.

How GloriaMundo Solves It

We build a scheduled workflow that runs every Friday (or whichever day you choose). URL extract steps fetch new articles from your chosen sources. An LLM step reads each article and writes a concise 2-3 sentence summary, capturing the key takeaway. A second LLM step selects the strongest pieces, ranks them by relevance to your audience, and compiles everything into a formatted newsletter draft. The draft is written to a Google Doc where you can review, edit, and add your personal commentary before sending. Glass Box preview lets you see every summary and the assembled draft before the workflow writes anything to Google Docs.

Example Workflow Steps

  1. Trigger (scheduled): Runs every Friday at 9am.
  2. Step 1 (URL extract): Fetch recent articles from 5-10 RSS feed URLs or source pages.
  3. Step 2 (LLM): Summarise each article in 2-3 sentences, pulling out the key insight.
  4. Step 3 (LLM): Rank articles by relevance to your stated audience and topic focus, then select the top 7.
  5. Step 4 (LLM): Assemble the selected summaries into a formatted newsletter draft with an introduction and section headers.
  6. Step 5 (Integration): Create a new Google Doc with the newsletter draft, ready for your review.

Who This Is For

Newsletter creators, content marketers, and thought leaders who curate industry content for their audience weekly but struggle to keep up with the reading and assembly workload.

Time & Cost Saved

Manual newsletter curation typically takes 4-6 hours per week (reading, selecting, summarising, formatting). This workflow reduces the ongoing effort to roughly 30-60 minutes of review and personal additions. The upfront setup takes a few minutes to describe your sources and audience. Over a month, that is roughly 15-20 hours saved. The workflow uses URL extract and LLM steps, costing a few credits per run.
