How It Works ⚙️
This workflow is a comprehensive, two-AI-agent system that acts as a virtual research and content team. It automates the entire process of turning a single topic into an actionable content strategy.
- AI Agent 1 (The Researcher) : The workflow starts with a manual trigger where you input a research topic. An HTTP Request node then acts as the first agent, performing a web search (e.g., using a Google Search API) to gather the most relevant articles and data.
- Data Aggregation : The raw data from the web search is then consolidated into a single, clean text block using a Function node. This makes the information digestible for the second AI agent.
- AI Agent 2 (The Strategist) : A second OpenAI node takes the aggregated data and acts as the strategist. It analyzes the content and uses a sophisticated prompt to generate a list of 5 specific and actionable content ideas.
- Distribution & Notification: The generated ideas are then automatically sent to two separate destinations. Each idea is logged into a Google Sheets database, which serves as your content calendar. A Slack notification is also sent to your marketing team, immediately alerting them to the new ideas.
