Overview
Unlock Real-time Community Insights with this AI Agent
This AI Agent actively scours Reddit for posts mentioning 'n8n' or any keyword you configure. It intelligently filters these posts for relevance based on upvotes and recency, then employs OpenAI's language models to first confirm if the discussion is truly about your topic and subsequently to generate a concise summary of each verified post. Stay ahead by automatically tracking what the community is saying about your product, brand, or topics of interest.
Key Features & Benefits
- Automated Reddit Monitoring: Continuously searches for new posts matching your keyword (default: 'n8n').
- Intelligent Filtering: Pre-filters posts based on criteria like upvotes (>=5) and age (last 7 days) to focus on significant content.
- AI-Powered Relevance Check: Utilizes OpenAI to analyze the first 500 characters of post content and confirm if it's genuinely about your specified topic, reducing noise.
- AI-Driven Summarization: Generates a concise, single-sentence summary for each relevant post based on its initial 500 characters, saving you time.
- Data Extraction: Pulls key information like post URL, upvotes, subreddit, and date for easy tracking and further analysis.
- Customizable & Extensible: Easily adapt keywords, filtering criteria, and AI prompts. Integrate further actions within n8n, such as sending notifications to Slack, email, or logging data to a spreadsheet or database.

Prerequisites
- An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
- OpenAI API Key with access to a suitable model (e.g., gpt-3.5-turbo or a later model).
- (Optional) Reddit API credentials if you plan to significantly increase the frequency or scope of searches, though the built-in Reddit node often works for moderate use without them.
Setup Instructions
- Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
- Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
- In the 'Reddit' node, change the
keyword
parameter from 'n8n' to the term you want to monitor. - Configure the 'OpenAI Classify' node: Enter your OpenAI API Key in the credentials section. Review and adjust the prompt if you need to refine how the AI determines relevance for your specific keyword.
- Configure the 'OpenAI Summary Backup' node: Enter your OpenAI API Key in the credentials section. You can customize the summarization prompt to change the style or length of the summary.
- (Optional) Modify the filtering conditions in the 'IF' node (e.g., minimum upvotes, time window for post age) to suit your needs.
- (Optional) Extend the workflow by adding nodes after 'SetFinal' to send notifications (e.g., via Slack, Email) or store the results (e.g., in Google Sheets, Airtable, or a database).
- Activate the workflow. It is set to a manual trigger; change this to a 'Schedule' trigger for automated, periodic execution.
