Building My Automation Intelligence Engine (Live in Zapier)

Posted Updated

If you follow tools like Zapier, Make.com, or n8n, you know updates drop faster than you can read about them.

So I’m building a News Curation Engine — an automated system that gathers articles, videos, and podcasts about automation tools from across the web, organizes them, and delivers a daily digest straight to me.

In this live build, I’ll show how I connect RSS feeds, Google News alerts, Podscan, and more into one streamlined hub — using Zapier as the brain of the system.

? What You’ll Learn

How to monitor your niche automatically

Using RSS, Google News, and podcast feeds together

Setting up smart filters for relevance

Sending summaries to Notion, email, or Slack

Turning your curation into a daily “briefing”
