AI Daily Comic Translator & Discord Poster Agent

Unlock Daily Multilingual Content Engagement with this AI Agent

This AI Agent automates the daily delivery of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip directly to your Discord community, complete with AI-powered translations. It starts by fetching the latest comic from GoComics.com. Then, its AI abilities kick in: first, it intelligently extracts the direct image URL from the webpage's HTML using an OpenAI model. Next, it sends this comic image to another OpenAI multimodal model (like GPT-4o-mini) which 'reads' the dialogue from the image and translates it into specified languages (e.g., English and Korean). Finally, the original comic image and its multilingual dialogue are neatly posted to your chosen Discord channel, keeping your audience entertained and engaged with minimal effort.

Key Features & Benefits

• Fully Automated Daily Content: Set it once and forget it. Delivers fresh comic content every day via the Schedule Trigger.
• AI-Powered Web Scraping: Uses OpenAI (via Langchain's Information Extractor node) to robustly find and extract the comic image URL from web content.
• AI Image-to-Text & Translation: Leverages OpenAI's advanced multimodal capabilities (e.g., GPT-4o-mini) to accurately 'see' and transcribe dialogue from the comic image and translate it.
• Multilingual Output: Provides both original and translated dialogue (e.g., Korean), expanding reach and accessibility. Easily customizable for other languages by adjusting the OpenAI prompt.
• Direct Discord Integration: Seamlessly posts the comic and text to your Discord server, enhancing community engagement.
• Time-Saving Automation: Eliminates the manual daily grind of finding, translating, and posting content.
• Boosts Community Engagement: Offers a unique and fun daily touchpoint for your Discord members.

• An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
• OpenAI API Key with access to a vision-capable model (e.g., gpt-4o-mini or a similar GPT-4 vision model).
• Discord Webhook URL.

1. Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
2. Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
3. Configure the 'Schedule Trigger' node to your desired daily posting time (default is 9 AM UTC).
4. Ensure your OpenAI API credentials are correctly configured for the 'OpenAI Chat Model' node. This node is connected to the 'Information Extractor' and helps extract the comic image URL from the website HTML.
5. Configure your OpenAI API credentials in the main 'OpenAI' node. This node analyzes the comic image and translates its dialogue. Verify the selected model (e.g., gpt-4o-mini) supports image analysis (operation: analyze, resource: image).
6. (Optional) Modify the prompt within the 'OpenAI' node (specifically the text parameter which acts as the prompt for image analysis) to change target translation languages or adjust the output format. The current example includes Korean.
7. In the 'Discord' node, paste your Discord Webhook URL into the 'Webhook URL' parameter under 'Authentication'.
8. Activate the workflow. Monitor the first few runs to ensure it's fetching and posting correctly.
