Here’s another of my n8n useful workflows. I built it to receive a daily email with the top 20 Hacker News posts, each accompanied by a short summary generated by ChatGPT. You can choose how many posts include and how long and detailed the summary should be.
Yes, I know there are many online services that do the same thing and send daily newsletters, but this workflow allows me to decide exactly when to receive the emails during the day, how the summaries are generated (that is, the ChatGPT “style”), how many items to include in the email, and when to stop everything with a single click.

Yes, it’s very simple but effective: it does exactly what I need, without receiving too many posts or extremely long summaries that I end up not reading, and without too many emails filling my inbox.
