How I Automate AI Videos from Live News Articles Daily

How to Automate Article Downloads for Video Generation

Overview of the System

  • The system discussed is designed to automate the downloading of articles, which are then used to generate various types of videos including AI-generated scripts and captioned videos.

Daily Article Retrieval Process

  • A schedule trigger is implemented to run automation regularly, ensuring timely retrieval of blog URLs for video generation, especially important for breaking news.

RSS Feed Management

  • The system utilizes Air Table to manage multiple RSS feeds from different sources. Users can add feeds from various platforms like NAN, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

Article Fetching Mechanism

  • When the trigger runs, it loads active RSS feeds and retrieves articles. The process includes filtering by active feeds to ensure only relevant content is fetched.

Automation Tracking and Maintenance

  • A module updates the last runtime in the database to avoid pulling duplicate articles. This ensures that only new content is processed for video creation.
Video description

If you're trying to automate content from breaking news articles, this is the part most people ignore: feed ingestion. This system checks multiple RSS feeds on a schedule, filters out old posts using a timestamp, and only grabs new content. That way, you're not recreating the same video twice. Each new article triggers a complete content pipeline—screenshot, script, AI avatar video, captions, final render. Fully automated from source to post. This is how you scale content around time-sensitive data without wasting compute or repeating work.
