What it does
!3PODCAST TOPIC RESEARCH 1.jpg(fileId:4011)🤖 Automated AI content researcher: YouTube & RSS to Notion via Gemini This workflow is basically my shortcut for researching popular topics to create podcast content on without spending all day on YouTube, scrolling X and reading websites. It grabs the latest videos and articles from the last 24 hours, runs them through Gemini Pro (with SerpAPI to double-check inputs), and then spits out actual content hooks and thumbnail ideas. Everything gets cleaned up into a neat Notion database so I can just log in, see what's hot, and start working on the podcast. What you need To use this workflow, you need credentials for the following services: Google Gemini API: (Free tier available via Google AI Studio) for the LLM. SerpAPI: To allow the AI Agent to browse live Google search results. Google Sheets: To maintain your list of target RSS feeds. Notion: For storing the researched content. Telegram: For mobile notifications. Resources Video Tutorial: https://youtu.be/IoHayi68Ckk Created by: Scalo Labs
