Build a morning AI news brief with You.com, Jev, and n8n

A guest post by You.com engineer Tyler Eastman describes an n8n workflow for producing low-cost, targeted daily news digests by searching broadly, filtering articles before summarization, and posting only material updates. The workflow runs each weekday, uses configurable topics, team context, priorities, and a materiality threshold, searches You.com for recent news, and removes articles seen in prior runs to prevent repetition. TypeSafe AI’s Jev model evaluates each article through separate typed questions about whether it reports a genuine development, concerns the selected topic, and matters to the team, at roughly $0.00004 per article. Surviving articles are grouped by topic and story so duplicate coverage becomes one item, then You.com Research creates a short cited brief that is delivered to Slack; topics without meaningful developments generate no message. The author estimates a typical run costs $0.01 to $0.04 and argues that inexpensive filtering, adjustable thresholds, source citations, and silence on quiet days make the digest more useful than systems that summarize every result.
