I built a free AI agent that emails me a news briefing every morning, with no server

Описание и применение

Создан бесплатный AI‑агент, который ежедневно отправляет краткое новостное резюме по электронной почте, используя GitHub Actions, бесплатные API Tavily и Groq, без необходимости серверов.

Задача

Need a daily news briefing without opening many tabs, paid newsletters, or running a server.

Результат

Runs for free on GitHub Actions, uses only free API tiers, delivers a daily email briefing without server costs, and avoids duplicate stories.

Рабочий процесс

• Define topics in config.yaml
• Schedule GitHub Actions via external cron (cron-job.org)
• GitHub Actions workflow dispatches
• Checkout repo and set up Python
• Install dependencies
• Run main.py to search Tavily, summarize with Groq, render HTML email
• Check history JSON to avoid repeats
• Send email via Gmail
• Commit updated history back to repo
