How I Automated a Weekly AI News Blog Using RSS, Gemini, GitHub Actions, and Blogger with $0 cost I wanted a simple, low-cost way to publish a weekly AI and platform engineering brief. The goal was clear: collect interesting updates from trusted RSS feeds, summarize them with Gemini, publish the result to Blogger, and generate a LinkedIn-ready share post. The result is AI News in 10: Weekend Brief , an automated weekly blog pipeline that runs every Thursday at 5 PM Central time. The idea Instead of building a full newsletter platform or custom CMS, I used tools that are either free or already available: RSS feeds for source discovery Gemini API for summarization and blog generation GitHub Actions for weekly automation Blogger API for publishing to Blogspot GitHub Actions Summary for the final blog link and LinkedIn copy End-to-end flow Thursday 5 PM Central | v GitHub Actions starts the workflow | v Python script reads ...
