Built a YouTube Content Repurposing Bot that writes the caption, generates the image, and posts to LinkedIn automatically — zero manual work

The problem: A YouTube creator uploads a video and then spends 2-3 hours writing a LinkedIn post, newsletter email, and team summary. Same content, just reformatted. Every single week.

What I built: The moment a new video is uploaded to any YouTube channel, the system detects it via RSS feed — no YouTube API needed, completely free. It then generates a LinkedIn caption using AI, sends it to Telegram for approval, refines it through ChatGPT, generates a custom image automatically, and posts directly to LinkedIn. Parallel to that, it drafts a newsletter email, sends it for human approval via Telegram Send and Wait, and only sends it to subscribers after confirmation.

The result: A creator goes from upload to published LinkedIn post with image in minutes. The only human action required is approving the newsletter before it goes out.

Tools: n8n, Google Gemini, ChatGPT, DALL-E, Gmail, Google Sheets, Telegram, LinkedIn API

The approval gate before the newsletter was the most important design decision — AI drafts, human approves. That's how production systems should work.

Happy to answer questions about the RSS trigger setup or the approval architecture.
