This n8n workflow automates the entire research process. Simply provide a topic, and the workflow refines the query, gathers insights from Google Search, News API, Wikipedia, and Google Scholar, processes the results with OpenAI GPT models, and generates a professional PDF research report. The report is automatically sent via Gmail and/or Telegram, while metadata is logged in Google Sheets for tracking.
It’s designed for researchers, analysts, students, and professionals who need fast, structured, and credible research outputs without manual searching or formatting.
