AI Research Scout for Hugging Face Papers

Unlock Automated AI Research with this AI Agent

This AI Agent acts as your personal research assistant, tirelessly scanning Hugging Face Papers for the latest breakthroughs. Every day, it identifies new papers, extracts their abstracts, and leverages a powerful OpenAI model (GPT-4o) to perform a deep analysis. The agent then organizes these structured summaries—including core contributions, keywords, key results, and technical details—into a clean, searchable Notion database. Stop manually tracking research and let this agent build your knowledge base for you.

Key Features & Benefits

• Deduplication Logic: Checks if a paper already exists in your Notion DB to avoid duplicate entries and keep your workspace clean.
• Time-Saving Automation: Frees you from the tedious task of manual research tracking, allowing you to focus on applying the latest AI advancements.

• An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
• OpenAI API Key with access to a GPT-4 model (e.g., gpt-4o).
• Notion API credentials and a Notion database set up with the required properties (Title, URL, abstract, keywords, etc.).

1. Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
2. Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
