In the URL field, paste the RSS feed link you want to track - for example https://hnrss.org/frontpage for Hacker News, or any blog/channel RSS.

In the Prompt field, paste the template below, replacing [YOUR_TOPIC] with your topic (e.g. «AI startups» or «crypto news»). Set Max tokens to 800.

    The OpenAI API key is pay-as-you-go, but gpt-4o-mini costs pennies: one briefing a day comes out to less than $1 per month. You can also swap it for the free Google Gemini module.

    Prompt
    You are a morning briefing editor. Below are RSS feed items from the last 24 hours about [YOUR_TOPIC]. Read all items, then write a concise morning briefing in Russian:

1. Top 5 most important news items (one sentence each)
2. A short «What to expect today» paragraph (2-3 sentences)

Format: clean text, no markdown headers, ready to paste into a messenger. Skip items unrelated to the topic.

RSS items:
{{1.items}}
    What this prompt doesThe prompt is in English but asks ChatGPT to write the result in Russian. Replace [YOUR_TOPIC] with your topic. The {{1.items}} variable automatically pulls content from the RSS module - do not delete it.
  4. 4.Click the plus icon after the OpenAI module, find Telegram, and select «Send a text message» or «Send a message». Click «Create a connection» and paste your Telegram bot token (create a bot via @BotFather using the /newbot command - it's free). In the Chat ID field, paste your ID (find it via @userinfobot). In the Text field, select the variable {{2.choices[].message.content}} - this is ChatGPT's reply.

    To find your Chat ID, message @userinfobot after creating the bot - it will reply with your numeric ID.
