Description
This workflow automatically collects the latest technology news, filters for emerging topics, and uses AI to score relevance and generate clean, ready-to-share content. It helps you focus on high-impact updates while eliminating noise, making it ideal for curated tech feeds or internal intelligence channels.

How it works / What it does
The workflow pulls articles from an RSS feed (e.g., TechCrunch) on a schedule. It filters recent and relevant topics, removes duplicates using Google Sheets, and sends each article to an AI model. The AI assigns an innovation score, generates a tweet, and suggests an image concept. Results are normalized, filtered by score (e.g., ≥8), ranked, and limited to top items. Finally, formatted messages or tweet are sent to Slack and logged for tracking.
