Ontariopost — news site
Ontario/Canada news site powered by an n8n automation: it collects sources, filters and AI-writes stories on its own — articles, categories, weather and videos.
Visit live siteProject overview
Ontariopost is a news site for Ontario and Canada (front page, politics, local, business, culture, sports, weather, traffic…), with a breaking-news ticker, category pages, article pages, an AI summary and a video section. Its twist: an n8n automation keeps the newsroom running on its own. Every 4 hours the workflow pulls headlines (Google News, CBC, Global News, the GNews API), filters for Ontario/Canada, removes duplicates, clusters the same story seen across several outlets, then an AI model writes an original news brief (SEO title, category, Pexels image) that is published to the site automatically.

The news site
