πŸ“ Description

πŸ€– What this workflow does

This workflow turns Reddit pain points into emotionally-driven comic-style ads using AI.
It takes in a product description, scrapes Reddit for real user pain points, filters
relevant posts using AI, generates ad angles, rewrites them into 4-panel comic prompts,
and finally uses Dumpling AI to generate comic-style images. All final creatives
are uploaded to Google Drive.


🧠 What problem is this solving?

Crafting ad content that truly speaks to customer struggles is time-consuming.
This workflow automates that entire process β€” from pain point discovery to visual
creative output β€” using AI and Reddit as a source of truth for customer language.


πŸ‘€ Who is this for?

  • Copywriters and performance marketers
  • Startup founders and indie hackers
  • Creatives building empathy-driven ad concepts
  • Automation experts looking to generate scroll-stopping content

πŸ”Ή 4. Filter Valid Posts

Node: πŸ”Ž IF - Check Upvotes & Text Length

  • Minimum 2 upvotes
  • Content at least 100 characters long

βœ… You can adjust these thresholds in the node settings.


πŸ”Ή 5. Clean Reddit Output

Node: 🧼 Code - Structure Reddit Posts
This formats the list of posts into clean JSON for the AI agents to process.


πŸ”Ή 6. Check Relevance with AI Agent

Node: πŸ€” Langchain Agent - Post Relevance Classifier
This node uses a LangChain agent (tool: think2) to determine if each post
is relevant to your product. Only relevant ones are passed forward.

Node: πŸ“¦ Code - Merge Relevant Posts
Collects all relevant posts into a clean format for the next GPT-4 call.

Scores the generated angles and ranks them from most to least powerful.
Only the top 3 are passed forward.


πŸ”Ή 10. Turn Angles into Comic Prompts

Node: 🎭 GPT-4o - Write Comic Scene Prompts
Rewrites each of the top ad angles into a 4-panel comic strip structure
(pain β†’ tension β†’ product β†’ resolution).


πŸ”Ή 11. Generate Comic Images

Node: 🎨 Dumpling AI - Generate Comic Panels
Sends each prompt to Dumpling AI to create visual comic scenes.


πŸ”Ή 12. Wait for Image Generation

Node: ⏳ Wait - Dumpling AI Response Time
Adds a delay to give Dumpling AI time to finish generating all images.


πŸ”Ή 13. Get Final Image URLs

Node: πŸ”— Code - Extract Image URLs from Dumpling Response
Extracts all image links for preview/download.


πŸ”Ή 14. Upload to Google Drive

Node: ☁️ Google Drive - Upload Comics
Uploads the comic images to your chosen Google Drive folder.
βœ… Update this node with your destination folder ID.


πŸ”Ή 15. Log Final Output

Optional
You can extend the flow to log the image links, ad angles, and Reddit sources
to Google Sheets, Airtable, or Notion depending on your use case.


πŸ› οΈ How to Customize

  • ✏️ Adjust tone: Update GPT-4 system prompts to sound more humorous, emotional, or brand-specific.
  • 🧡 Use different styles: Swap Dumpling AI image settings for ink sketch, manga, or cartoon renderings.
  • πŸ”„ Change input source: Replace Reddit with X (Twitter), Quora, or YouTube comments.
  • πŸ“¦ Store results differently: Swap Google Drive for Notion, Dropbox, or Airtable.
