Overview

Unlock Effortless Content Repurposing with this AI Agent

This AI Agent is your personal content assistant, designed to transform lengthy podcast transcripts into engaging, shareable digests. It meticulously processes your transcript, first leveraging OpenAI's GPT models (like GPT-3.5-turbo-16k) for intelligent summarization. Then, using GPT-4, it extracts key topics and crafts thought-provoking questions related to the content.

But it doesn't stop there. For each identified topic, the agent employs a Langchain-powered research capability, tapping into Wikipedia to gather and present concise explanations. Finally, it assembles all this valuable information—summary, topics with explanations, and questions—into a neatly formatted HTML email, ready to be sent to your audience or team via Gmail.

This AI Agent empowers you to:

  • Automate Podcast Show Notes: Generate comprehensive show notes quickly.
  • Repurpose Content Efficiently: Turn one podcast into multiple content pieces (email, blog snippets).
  • Boost Audience Engagement: Provide listeners with valuable takeaways and discussion points.

Key Features & Benefits

  • AI-Driven Summarization Ability: Utilizes OpenAI's advanced LLMs to create concise and accurate summaries of podcast transcripts, capturing the essence of the episode.

Prerequisites

  • An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
  • OpenAI API Key with access to GPT-3.5-turbo-16k and GPT-4 models.
  • Gmail credentials configured in n8n for sending emails (OAuth2 recommended).
  • The podcast transcript you want to process.

Setup Instructions

  1. Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
  2. Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
  3. In the 'Podcast Episode Transcript' Code node, replace the placeholder transcript with your actual podcast transcript. For dynamic inputs, consider modifying this node to receive data from other triggers or nodes (e.g., Webhook, Read File).
  4. Configure your OpenAI credentials in the 'GPT3.5 - Summarize', 'GPT 4 - Extract', and 'GPT3.5 - Research' nodes. Ensure the selected models are available to your API key.
  5. Set up your Gmail credentials in the 'Send Digest' node. Customize the 'To', 'Subject', and verify the HTML body template which uses expressions to pull in the generated content.
  6. Review and optionally customize the prompts within the 'Summarize Transcript' (Refine chain prompts), 'Extract Topics & Questions' (LLMChain prompt), and 'Research & Explain Topics' (Agent prompt) nodes to tailor the AI's output to your specific style and requirements.
  7. Activate the workflow and test it by clicking 'Execute Workflow'.
