Generate daily top news digests from RSS feeds with Groq and Slack

How it works
This workflow runs every morning to collect news from multiple RSS feeds across global, business, finance, and tech categories. It processes and filters the most recent articles, then uses an AI model to select the most relevant global stories. The selected news is formatted into a clean digest. Finally, the digest is automatically delivered to a Slack channel.
