Monitor MIT AI News RSS daily, filter by recency, deduplicate, and post clean updates to Discord.
The AI agent automatically fetches the MIT News RSS feed for Artificial Intelligence, identifies relevant AI research updates, and compiles a concise digest. It reduces noise by filtering for articles published in the last 24 hours. It posts a formatted message to your Discord channel and logs sent articles to prevent duplicates.

Answers to common questions about the AI agent.
The AI agent fetches the official MIT News RSS feed for Artificial Intelligence. It parses each item to extract the title, author, date, and link, which are then formatted for Discord. The feed is checked daily for updates at the configured cadence. If you want to broaden coverage, you can adjust the feed source to include additional MIT News topics. The agent does not crawl external sources beyond the defined feed unless you configure an update.
Deduplication is implemented using an n8n Data Table that stores sent articles keyed by their link and pubDate. Before posting, the agent queries the table to confirm the article hasn’t been sent previously. If a match is found, the item is skipped; if not, it’s posted and then added to the log. This provides an auditable trail of what was shared and when.
Yes. The cadence is configurable; you can set the daily run time, frequency, or even add multiple windows. If the feed is heavy, you can limit the number of articles per post. Any changes apply to future runs, and you can revert to defaults at any time.
If the feed is temporarily unavailable, the AI agent will retry in the next cycle and log the failure. If consecutive attempts fail, you’ll receive an alert in your preferred channel and maintain a cached last-known-good state. The post cadence continues once the feed resumes. In the meantime, no duplicates will be posted due to the deduplication table.
Posts are formatted with each article’s title, author, date, and a link. The agent uses a clean, readable layout suitable for quick scanning. You can customize the message style, including embeds or plain text, depending on your Discord setup. The formatting ensures consistency across daily digests.
The current setup targets the Artificial Intelligence topic in MIT News. You can modify the feed source to include related AI subtopics or other MIT News categories by updating the RSS endpoint. Any changes will apply to future deliveries and can be staged in a test channel first.
Yes. All posted items are stored in the mit_ai_news_sent table with metadata such as title, link, and date. You can query the table to review historical posts, verify what was shared, and perform troubleshooting. The system also provides a post-timing log for each delivery cycle.
