Try It Out!

The Daily AI-Powered Global Trend Analysis Workflow transforms your Discord server into a real-time AI-driven global intelligence dashboard.
Every 6 hours, this automation gathers worldwide data from GDELT, Hacker News, and NewsAPI — analyzing patterns in technology, economics, and geopolitics to uncover emerging global narratives before they hit mainstream awareness.

An integrated AI Trend Analyzer Agent distills this massive dataset into concise, actionable insights including:

  • Top 5 emerging global trends
  • A short AI-written daily summary
  • Regional intelligence highlights
  • Notable mentions in innovation, finance, and politics

Each insight is automatically posted to your Discord channel, formatted for quick scanning and decision-making — keeping your team or community ahead of the curve.

How It Works

  1. Automated Trigger (Schedule Node) – Executes every 6 or 24 hours (customizable) to fetch the latest global data.

  2. Multi-Source Intelligence Aggregation:

    • GDELT – Captures worldwide media signals and geopolitical movements.
    • Hacker News API – Surfaces trending stories in startups, AI, and innovation.
    • NewsAPI – Collects major headlines across global media outlets filtered by defined keywords.

  3. Data Normalization (JavaScript Node) – Cleans and merges all incoming data into a unified format with timestamps.

  4. AI Trend Analyzer (LLM Node) – Evaluates data contextually to identify:

    • 📰 Top 5 Global Trends
    • 🌍 Regional Highlights
    • 💡 Key Industry Insights
    • 📈 100–150 Word Summary

  5. Output Structuring Node – Parses and formats AI responses into a clean, Discord-friendly layout.

  6. Discord Delivery – Sends the compiled report to your specified channel using a webhook or bot token.

How to Use

  1. Import the workflow into n8n.

  2. Configure the following credentials:

    • NewsAPI Key – for aggregating headlines.
    • LLM API Key (OpenAI or Gemini) – for AI-based summarization.
    • Discord Webhook URL or Bot Token – for automated posting.

  3. Edit NewsAPI keywords to match your industry focus (e.g., “AI,” “blockchain,” “defense,” “renewable energy”).

  4. Adjust the schedule trigger interval as desired (default: every 6 hours).

  5. Activate the workflow — and start receiving continuous, AI-curated global intelligence in Discord.

(Optional) Extend This Workflow

  • Sector Prioritization: Focus on AI, finance, energy, or web3 insights only.
  • Regional Filters: Segment analysis by continent or language.
  • Trend Scoring: Introduce a numeric score to rank importance.
  • Cross-Platform Broadcast: Expand reports to Telegram, Slack, or X (Twitter).
  • Knowledge Archive: Auto-store each daily report in Notion or Airtable.
