Generate Content Strategy Reports Analyzing Reddit, YouTube & X with Gemini

Description This workflow provides a powerful AI assistant for content creators, book editors, and marketers. It automates the collection and analysis of trending discussions from Reddit, YouTube, and X (Twitter), generating insightful topic reports. This frees you from hours of tedious data compilation, allowing you to make faster, more accurate topic decisions based on deep AI analysis. How it works This workflow simulates the complete research process of a strategic editor: Initiate & Collect: A user submits a keyword via a public Form Trigger. The workflow then automatically fetches relevant, trending content in parallel from the official APIs of Reddit, YouTube, and X (Twitter). Multi-stage AI Processing & Analysis: The workflow utilizes a layered AI pipeline to process the data. First, a lightweight Gemini model in the AI Pre-filter Content node rapidly screens the vast amount of content to filter out noise. Next, a more powerful Gemini Pro model in the AI Deep Analysis node performs a detailed, structured analysis on each high-value item, extracting summaries, sentiment, and key arguments. Finally, a "strategist" AI model in the AI Synthesize Final Report node aggregates all analyses to generate the comprehensive final topic report in HTML. Multi-Channel Report Distribution: The workflow distributes the final report to multiple channels based on pre-defined templates. The Send Gmail Report node sends the complete HTML report. The Send Feishu Notification node sends a concise summary card to a group chat. Meanwhile, the Archive to Google Sheets node archives key data. Setup Steps This workflow takes approximately 20-30 minutes to set up, with most of the time spent connecting your accounts. Connect Your API Accounts: In the n8n Credentials section, you will need to prepare and connect credentials for the following services: Google: For the Gemini AI model, Gmail sending, and Google Sheets archiving. This requires a Google Cloud API Key and OAuth2 credentials. Reddit: For fetching Reddit posts. This requires a Reddit account with OAuth2 configured in n8n to allow searches. YouTube: For collecting YouTube videos. You'll need to enable the YouTube Data API v3 in your Google Cloud Console and get an API Key. Twitter: For the official Twitter node, requiring a free developer account and an App with v2 API access. Configure Output Channels: In the final nodes (Send Gmail Report, Send Feishu Notification, Archive to Google Sheets), update the recipient email address, the Feishu bot's Webhook URL, and the target spreadsheet ID to match your own. Activate and Share the Trigger: Activate the workflow. The first Form Trigger node will automatically generate a public URL. Share this link with your team members to let them start using the tool.
