Analyze Hacker News for Business Insights Using AI and Google Sheets
This n8n workflow monitors top Hacker News posts to identify business-related pain points using AI, and logs results into Google Sheets for further analysis.
The workflow filters Hacker News posts based on engagement metrics, extracts essential metadata, and uses a GP-4.1-based AI agent to detect and summarize business pain points. The summarized insights are then appended to a Google Sheet, allowing for easy review and further analysis. To set up, ensure you have the necessary API credentials for OpenRouter and Google Sheets.
