What This Workflow Does
This n8n workflow automates the process of gathering and analyzing content trends across Reddit, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter) to generate data-driven content strategy reports. It solves the time-consuming challenge of manually monitoring multiple platforms by using AI to identify emerging topics, sentiment patterns, and engagement opportunities.
The workflow collects relevant posts and videos based on your specified keywords or topics, then uses Google's Gemini AI to analyze the content for common themes, emotional tone, and audience preferences. The final output is a comprehensive report with actionable insights you can use to inform your content calendar and marketing strategy.
How It Works
1. Platform Data Collection
The workflow begins by querying Reddit, YouTube, and X APIs to gather recent posts and videos matching your target keywords. It collects metadata including engagement metrics, comments, and timestamps.
2. Content Analysis with Gemini
Collected content is processed by Gemini AI, which performs sentiment analysis, identifies key themes, and extracts notable patterns in audience reactions. The AI compares trends across platforms to highlight cross-channel opportunities.
3. Report Generation
Gemini synthesizes the analysis into a structured report with sections for platform-specific insights, recommended content angles, optimal posting times, and potential audience segments to target.
4. Delivery & Storage
The final report is formatted and delivered to your preferred destination (email, Google Docs, Notion, etc.) while also being archived for historical comparison.
Pro tip: Schedule this workflow to run weekly or monthly to maintain an up-to-date understanding of your niche's content landscape.
