Integrate Hacker News with 500+ apps and services

Companion workflow for Hacker News node docs

This n8n workflow automates sending out SMS notifications via Vonage which includes new tech-related vocabulary everyday. To build this handy vocabulary improver, you’ll need the following: n8n – You can find details on how to install n8n on the Quickstart page. LingvaNex account – You can create a free account here. Up to 200,000 characters are included in the free plan when you generate your API key. Airtable account – You can register for free. Vonage account – You can sign up free of charge if you aren’t already.

This AI agent can access data provided by another n8n workflow. Since that workflow can be used to retrieve any data from any service, this template can be used give an agent access to any data. Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.

This n8n template is one of a 3-part series exploring use-cases for clustering vector embeddings: Survey Insights Customer Insights Community Insights This template demonstrates the Community Insights scenario where HN commments can be quickly grouped by similarity and an AI agent can generate insights on those groupings. With this workflow, Researchers or HN users can quickly breakdown community consensus on a particular topic and identify frequently mentioned positives and negatives. Sample Output: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQXaQU9XxsxnUIIeqmmf1PuYRuYtwviVXTv6Mz9Vo6_a4ty-XaJHSeZsptjWXS3wGGDG8Z4u16rvE7l/pubhtml How it works HN comments are imported via the Hacknews API node. Comments are then inserted into a Qdrant collection carefully tagged with the Hackernews API metadata. Comments are then fetched and are put through a clustering algorithm using the Python Code node. The Qdrant points are returned in clustered groups. Each group is looped to fetch the payloads of the points and feed them to the AI agent to summarise and generate insights for. The resulting insights and raw responses are then saved to the Google Spreadsheet for further analysis by the researcher or the HN user. Requirements Works best with lots of comments! Qdrant Vectorstore for storing embeddings. OpenAI account for embeddings and LLM. Customising the Template Adjust clustering parameters which make sense for your data. Adjust sentimentality setting if comments are overwhelmingly negative at times.

Learning something new? Endlessly searching to find the best resources? This workflow finds top community-recommended learning resources on any topic from Hacker News, delivered to your inbox. How it works User submits a topic they want to learn via a simple form. The workflow searches for relevant "Ask HN" posts on Hacker News and extracts top-level comments. An LLM analyzes the comments and identifies the best learning resources. A personalized email is sent to the user with a Markdown formatted list of top recommendations, categorized by resource type (e.g., book, course, article) and difficulty level. Set up steps Add your Google Gemini API credentials. You'll need to create a project and enable the Generative Language API. Add your SMTP credentials for sending emails.
