Workflow name
AI-powered LinkedIn content engine (n8n + OpenAI + Perplexity + Replicate)

A fully automated content engine that researches, writes, scores, and visualizes LinkedIn posts — built with n8n, OpenAI, Perplexity, and Replicate.

What it does: ✅ Researches any topic using real-time data ✅ Writes a personalized post in your voice ✅ Refines tone and structure ✅ Generates abstract, high-quality visual assets ✅ Scores the output and saves it to Google Sheets

How it works:

  • Triggered when you change a row status in Google Sheets
  • Uses Perplexity to research
  • GPT-4o (OpenAI) to create and polish content
  • Replicate (FLUX Pro) to generate images
  • Scores the post using heuristics
  • Appends everything back to your sheet
