Automated AI Security Digest: Lessons on Timeouts and Deduplication

Ayaan_143 · reddit · 2026-09-02

To avoid missing scattered AI security news, the author built an automated daily digest pipeline: RSS feeds -> Gemini curation and ranking -> daily automated send. The build faced two main issues: execution timeouts due to Apps Script's 6-minute limit when fetching 50+ feeds sequentially, and Gemini 503 errors without retry logic (fixed with retry/backoff and tighter fetch budgets).

The author is open to sharing details on retry logic, curation prompts, and architecture.
