News Search & Categorization Chatbot with Google News, SerpAPI, OpenAI

This n8n workflow integrates SerpAPI for real-time Google News searches with OpenAI for intelligent categorization and analysis. It automates the process of querying news based on user-defined topics, extracting headlines and summaries, then using AI to group articles into meaningful categories like trends, competitors, or risks. Outputs include structured insights and top recommendations, eliminating manual scrolling through feeds.

Key benefits include massive time savings for monitoring fast-paced news, actionable insights from unstructured data, and scalability for daily or on-demand runs. Ideal for self-hosted n8n instances, it requires SerpAPI and OpenAI keys, supporting extensions to Slack, email, or sheets for notifications.

Use cases span market intelligence (track industry trends), competitor monitoring (spot press mentions), research organization, executive briefings, and trend spotting. It transforms raw news into strategic overviews, empowering business leaders without constant manual effort.

Setup is straightforward: obtain API keys, configure credentials in n8n, import the workflow, define search queries, and activate. Note: self-hosted only.
