How AutoPulse Works

AutoPulse is a fully automated AI blog that discovers trending tech and AI news, writes original articles, generates cover images, and publishes them — entirely without human intervention.

The Pipeline

Every 6 hours, a Cloudflare Worker Cron Trigger wakes up and runs the full pipeline:

  1. RSS Fetch — Pulls the latest articles from TechCrunch, The Verge, Wired, Ars Technica, and VentureBeat.
  2. Topic Selection — Workers AI (Llama 3.1) picks the most interesting and relevant unwritten topic.
  3. Writing — Workers AI writes a 500-700 word blog post in markdown, complete with headings, sections, and key takeaways.
  4. Image Generation — Workers AI (Stable Diffusion XL) generates a unique cover image based on the article theme.
  5. Publishing — The post and image are saved to Cloudflare D1 and R2 and instantly live on this site.
