1.1 Workflow description

Title: Summarize AI news from RSS, Reddit and HN with Claude to Discord and Slack
Workflow name: Summarize AI news from RSS, Reddit and HN with Claude to Discord and Slack

This n8n template builds an automated daily news digest powered by Claude AI.

It monitors RSS feeds, Reddit, and Hacker News, extracts full article text, analyzes each piece with AI, and delivers a polished briefing to Discord and Slack.

Stop drowning in newsletters -- Claude reads everything and surfaces only what matters, scored and ranked by importance.

Good to know

Estimated cost is $0.03-0.10 per daily run using Claude Haiku + Sonnet. See Anthropic pricing for current rates.
Works without a database out of the box. Optionally enable PostgreSQL for article history and cross-day deduplication.

How it works

Schedule trigger fires daily and fetches articles from 10 configurable sources (RSS, Atom, Reddit JSON, Hacker News API)
Articles are deduplicated by URL hash and fuzzy title matching
Jina Reader extracts full article text for deeper analysis
Claude Haiku scores each article 1-10 for importance, assigns categories, and writes a "why it matters" summary
Claude Sonnet compiles the top articles into a structured digest with lead story, top stories, quick hits, and trend detection
Formatted output is delivered to Discord (rich embeds) and Slack (Block Kit)

How to use

Add your Anthropic API key as an n8n credential and set your Discord webhook URL in the config node -- that's the minimum to get running
Edit the feed list in "Build feed source list" to add your own sources

Requirements

Anthropic API key (setup guide)
Discord webhook URL (setup guide) and/or Slack credential

Customizing this workflow

Swap feed sources for any topic -- finance, gaming, research papers, industry news
Adjust topic importance weights to prioritize what you care about
Modify the Claude system prompt to change the digest's tone and style

Answer BigQuery questions in Microsoft Teams with Claude 3.5 dual agents

## Quick overview Turn Microsoft Teams into a natural language BI tool. This dual-agent Claude workflow intelligently classifies user questions, generates safe BigQuery SQL, executes the query, and returns a plain-English summary alongside a data preview directly to your Teams channel. ## How it works 1. The workflow listens for new messages in a designated Microsoft Teams channel or chat. 2. It checks a 24-hour static data cache for your BigQuery schema. If the cache is missing or expired, it automatically fetches the latest INFORMATION_SCHEMA metadata. 3. A main Claude 3.5 Sonnet agent classifies the user's intent (analytical, conversational, or unsafe) and identifies the relevant database tables. 4. If the intent is analytical, a specialized Claude SQL sub-agent generates a read-only SELECT query tailored exactly to your schema. 5. The workflow executes the query against BigQuery (safely constrained to a maximum of 100 rows). 6. A final Claude agent translates the raw query results into a concise, plain-English summary. 7. The answer is posted back to Teams as an Adaptive Card, complete with a formatted data preview and the generated SQL code. 8. Non-analytical questions or pipeline errors are intelligently routed to receive standard conversational replies in Teams. ## Setup 1. CRITICAL SECURITY: Restrict your Google Cloud Service Account IAM roles to BigQuery Data Viewer and BigQuery Job User ONLY. Do not use a highly privileged account. 2. Configure your Microsoft Teams trigger and posting credentials, specifying the target team and channel for the bot to operate in. 3. Configure your Google BigQuery credentials to allow reading metadata and executing queries. 4. Configure your Anthropic credentials for the three Claude LangChain nodes. 5. Update the "Configure Variables" node with your specific GCP Project ID and BigQuery Dataset ID. ## Requirements - A Google Cloud project with BigQuery enabled and existing structured datasets. - An Anthropic API key with access to the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model. - Microsoft Teams administrator access to authorize the n8n integration. ## Customization - Distributed Environments: If you are running n8n with multiple worker nodes (Queue Mode), you must swap the $getWorkflowStaticData() schema cache logic to read/write from a dedicated Key-Value store (like Redis or Supabase) to ensure state synchronization. - UI Layout: Modify the Create Teams Adaptive Card node to add corporate branding, custom colors, or alter the FactSet data preview structure. ## Additional info This architecture features built-in pipeline protections, including strict 40,000-character payload limits to prevent LLM context window blowouts, and fallback handling for "zero-row" query results to ensure users are never left without a response.

Evaluate LinkedIn profiles with Apify and Groq Llama chat model

## Quick overview This workflow collects a LinkedIn profile URL via an n8n form, scrapes the public profile data using the Apify LinkedIn Profile Scraper actor, analyzes the results with a Groq-hosted Llama model, and displays an HTML-formatted evaluation back to the user. ## How it works 1. Receives a LinkedIn Profile URL when a user submits the n8n form. 2. Prepares the LinkedIn URL along with the Apify API token and Groq API key used for downstream requests. 3. Sends the profile URL to the Apify `harvestapi/linkedin-profile-scraper` actor and retrieves the scraped dataset items. 4. Passes the scraped profile JSON to a Groq chat model via an LLM chain to generate an HTML evaluation with a score and recommendations. 5. Displays the generated HTML evaluation to the user as the form completion message. ## Setup 1. Add a valid Apify API token and ensure the Apify actor endpoint (`harvestapi/linkedin-profile-scraper`) is accessible for your account. 2. Add Groq API credentials in n8n and confirm the selected model (meta-llama/llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct) is available to your Groq account. 3. Replace the placeholder API key values in the workflow (or move them to n8n credentials/environment variables) and verify the form field label matches `LinkedIn Profile URL`.

Validate startup ideas with Google Gemini, Groq, and Gmail

## Quick overview This workflow collects a startup idea via an n8n form, uses Google Gemini to generate a SWOT-style analysis, assigns a viability score, uses Groq to turn the results into a structured validation report, and emails the final report through Gmail. ## How it works 1. Receives a startup idea, industry, and target audience from an n8n Form trigger. 2. Sends the submission to Google Gemini to generate a professional analysis covering the problem, business model, and SWOT factors. 3. Generates a startup viability score (currently a random value from 80–100) and packages it with the Gemini analysis. 4. Sends the score and analysis to Groq (Llama 3.3 70B) to compile a full validation report with an executive summary, market potential, recommendations, and final verdict. 5. Emails the generated validation report to the configured recipient using Gmail. ## Setup 1. Add credentials for Google Gemini (PaLM) API, Groq API, and a Gmail OAuth2 connection. 2. Replace the placeholder recipient address in the Gmail step ("[email protected]") with your target email address before activating the workflow. 3. Publish the n8n form, then share the form URL with the users who should submit their startup ideas for validation.
