Needs changesWhat this workflow does
This AI workflow has 39 nodes and runs manually, when you click “Execute workflow”. Along the way it connects Hacker News, OpenAI Chat Model, HTTP Request and S3 and 7 more. It also calls cloud.leonardo.ai, api.dev.runwayml.com and api.creatomate.com over HTTP.
How it runs
Trigger: Manually, when you click “Execute workflow”.
- Hacker News: work with all
- Limit: keeps the first few items
- Loop Over Items (Loop Over Items (Split in Batches)): loops over the items in batches
- Article Analysis (AI Agent): runs an AI agent, with model: OpenAI Chat Model; 1 tool (HTTP Request); output parser: Structured Output Parser
- If: checks a condition and branches into true / false
- Image Analysis (OpenAI): analyze (image)
- Get Image (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
- Article Prep (OpenAI): uses OpenAI
- News (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 3 fields: property_name, property_text, property_image_url
- Prompt Settings (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: model
…plus 25 more steps. See the full node list below.
Services it uses
HTTP calls to: cloud.leonardo.ai, api.dev.runwayml.com, api.creatomate.com
Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0
2 things in this workflow are removed in n8n 3.0. Fix them before you upgrade:
- HTTP Request Tool (legacy) in HTTP Request1: replace with HTTP Request node connected to the AI Agent's Tool input.
- AI Agent v1 (old agent modes) in Article Analysis (v1.7): replace with Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent.
Rather not rewrite it? Many of these flows can be rebuilt in Make (free plan).
| Removed in 3.0 | Replace with |
|---|---|
| HTTP Request Tool (legacy) HTTP Request1 | HTTP Request node connected to the AI Agent's Tool input |
| AI Agent v1 (old agent modes) Article Analysis (v1.7) | Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent. |
