AI Powered News Digest Agent

Telegram-Triggered Input:
The workflow starts when a user sends a message to the Telegram bot. The agent reads the raw text message and validates that it contains a proper chat and message payload before processing.

AI-Powered Parameter Extraction:
The user’s message is sent to an AI model that intelligently extracts key parameters such as:

• Search keywords (q)

• Language

• Country

• News category

• Email address (if present)

This allows users to request news in natural language like:
“Send me AI news in English from the US and email it to me.”

Smart Query Normalization:
The extracted AI output is cleaned, validated, and converted into a structured JSON object. If the user does not provide specific parameters, the agent automatically applies safe defaults (e.g., AI/ML-related news, English language, US region).

Automated News Gathering (GNews API):
Using the structured parameters, the agent queries the GNews API and fetches the latest relevant articles based on:

• Keywords

• Language

• Country

• Category

• Configurable max number of articles

Article Processing & Structuring:
The workflow splits the returned articles and standardizes fields such as:

• Title

• Publisher

• Summary

• Source URL

• Content

• Images

• Publish date

This ensures a clean and consistent dataset for report generation.

AI-Formatted HTML Report Generation:
All collected news articles are automatically compiled into a well-designed HTML digest that includes:

• Categorized headline sections

• Article metadata (publisher, date, sources)

• Summaries and content snippets

• Clickable links and images

• Proper formatting and HTML escaping for safety

Automatic PDF Conversion:
The generated HTML report is converted into a professional PDF document using a headless Chromium (Gotenberg) conversion service. This produces a clean, shareable news digest file.

Instant Delivery via Telegram:
The final PDF news digest is automatically sent back to the user on Telegram as a document attachment with a formatted caption and date-based filename.

Conditional Email Distribution (Smart Detection):
If the AI detects a valid email address inside the user’s original Telegram message, the agent automatically:

• Attaches the generated PDF

• Sends it via Gmail

• Delivers the same news digest directly to the extracted email address

This makes the workflow both chat-driven and email-aware without requiring manual input forms.
