How I Built an AI-Powered Blog Writing Machine (And You Can Too!)
Ever wished you could magically turn news articles into fresh, SEO-friendly blog posts—without spending hours writing? Well, guess what? I built an automation that does exactly that, and today, I’m going to show you how it works.
No coding skills required. No fancy tools. Just a simple, step-by-step process that even your grandma could follow (if she were into AI blogging).
And the best part? You can grab the free blueprint for this automation by visiting the link below.
Now, let’s dive in!
Step 1: Find Hot News Articles (Without Breaking a Sweat)
First, I needed a way to find trending topics in my niche. Since I love AI, I headed over to Google News and searched for “Artificial Intelligence.”
Boom! A goldmine of fresh articles.
But instead of manually checking every day (ain’t nobody got time for that), I grabbed the RSS feed URL—a fancy way to get automatic updates whenever a new article drops.
How to Get Your RSS Feed
- Go to news.google.com
- Search for your topic (e.g., “AI”)
- Copy the URL from the search results
- Head over to rss.app (free account)
- Paste the URL, hit Generate Feed, and voilà—your personal news tracker is ready!
Step 2: Teach a Robot to Write Blog Posts (Yes, Really!)
Now, here’s where the magic happens. I used Make.com (a no-code automation tool) to connect my RSS feed to OpenAI’s GPT-4.
Think of it like hiring a super-smart intern who:
- Reads the latest news
- Writes a blog post in your voice
- Even adds SEO keywords (because Google loves that)
Here’s How I Set It Up:
- Trigger: Every time a new article appears in my RSS feed, Make.com grabs it.
- AI Brainpower: I used GPT-4 to rewrite the article (with a custom prompt like: “Hey AI, turn this into a fun, engaging blog post!”).
- Image Generator: Because boring walls of text are so 2005, I added DALL·E 3 to create a custom featured image.
Step 3: Auto-Post to WordPress (Like a Boss)
Now, I could’ve copied and pasted everything manually… but why? Instead, I connected Make.com to WordPress so the blog posts publish automatically.
Quick WordPress Setup:
- Install the Make (Integromat) plugin on WordPress.
- Grab your API key (fancy password for robots).
- Plug it into Make.com—now your AI writer can post directly to your blog.
Pro Tip: You can set posts to “draft” if you want to review them first, or go full “Terminator mode” and auto-publish.
