# Scan GDELT news spikes with Gemini and log analysis to Sheets and Slack

> Quick overview This workflow runs daily to query the GDELT News API for a chosen theme, detects unusual one-day news-volume spikes, uses Google Gemini to generate a market-impact analysis for a sector and watchlist tickers, logs the results to Google Sheets, and posts an alert to Slack.

Builds a GDELT query for the configured theme, sector, and watchlist tickers, then requests a 1-day news timeline from the GDELT Doc API. 3. Calculates the latest news-volume value, computes a 7-day baseline from prior timeline points, and flags the event if the spike exceeds the 50% threshold. 4. For detected spikes, assigns a severity level (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH) and classifies the event category based on theme keywords. 5. Sends the event metrics to Google Gemini to produce a JSON analysis including an event summary, narrative, sector impact, ticker-by-ticker impacts, market implication, and disclaimer. 6.
