1.1 Workflow description

Title
Generate multi-agent AI research reports with OpenAI and Google Sheets
Workflow name
Generate multi-agent AI research reports with OpenAI and Google Sheets

This workflow deploys multiple independent AI research agents that work in parallel, critique each other's findings, and synthesize a unified high-quality final report.

Who's it for

• Researchers needing comprehensive topic coverage • Teams conducting competitive analysis or due diligence • Analysts synthesizing multi-perspective reports • Anyone needing validated, cross-checked AI research

How it works / What it does

  1. Accepts a research topic via webhook or manual trigger
  2. Splits the topic into 3 parallel sub-tasks for specialized agents
  3. Agent A: Factual / data-driven research
  4. Agent B: Trend & future outlook research
  5. Agent C: Critical / risk & counterargument research
  6. Critique phase: each agent reviews the others' findings
  7. Synthesis agent merges all validated findings
  8. Final report formatted and delivered via webhook response + Google Sheet log

How to set up

  1. Import this workflow
  2. Set up credentials (OpenAI, Google Sheets)
  3. Replace YOUR_SHEET_ID in the tracker node
  4. Activate workflow and POST to the webhook URL

Requirements

• OpenAI API key (or swap model node for Anthropic/Grok) • Google Sheets (for logging) • n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted)

How to customize the workflow

• Change agent personas in each AI node prompt • Add more parallel agents by duplicating agent branches • Swap OpenAI model for Claude via Anthropic credentials • Adjust synthesis depth in the final AI node

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/15201/15201.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
