About This Workflow
This n8n workflow streamlines the process of capturing trending information from Hacker News and transforming it into actionable documents. It begins by fetching a specified number of Hacker News articles. Each article's content is then processed by the Google Gemini API, which intelligently extracts and summarizes key information into a human-readable format. Finally, this curated content is used to create or update a Google Doc, dynamically titled with the article's author, providing a centralized and organized repository of important news. This automation is ideal for individuals and teams looking to stay informed without manual data sifting.
