Daily News Article Generator Workflow
Overview
The Daily News Article Generator is a workflow designed to automate the process of creating up-to-date news articles on any user-specified topic. By integrating Google Search, content retrieval, and AI-driven writing, it generates concise, structured news stories using the journalistically recognized “Inverted Pyramid” format. This automation is particularly useful for content creators, journalists, newsrooms, or bloggers who need to quickly produce reliable, timely news articles at scale.
How the Workflow Operates
- When users open the chat interface, they are greeted with a welcome message and prompted to provide a topic of interest.
- The interface presents several quick-start button options (e.g., “Nvidia”, “Latest US news”) for users to instantly generate articles on trending topics.
- Users can also manually input a custom topic via the chat input.
2. Search & Content Gathering
- The workflow uses Google Search to find the top 5 URLs related to the latest news about the provided topic, focusing on news published in the last 24-48 hours.
- The “URL Retriever” tool extracts the main content from each of these URLs, ensuring the information is both recent and relevant.
- Additional tools available include YouTube Search, which could be leveraged for multimedia content or video-based reporting (though the main flow centers around Google News results).
3. Article Generation (AI Agent)
- An AI agent receives the retrieved news content and the initial user topic.
- The agent is instructed (via a detailed system prompt) to:
- Enhance search queries with keywords like “latest news”, “last 24 hours”, or “today” to guarantee recency.
- Strictly use content from the last 48 hours, ignoring older sources.
- Write the article in the Inverted Pyramid style—putting the most newsworthy facts at the top, followed by supporting details, and ending with less critical background information.
- Avoid generic filler phrases, conclusions, or unnecessary introductions.
- Focus on delivering clear, detailed, and directly relevant information.
4. Output & Chat Integration
- The generated article is displayed to the user in the chat interface.
- Chat history is maintained, allowing users to reference previous interactions or generated articles.
- Each button response and action is visibly routed to separate chat outputs for clarity and UI feedback.
