How It Works

This workflow aggregates data from GitHub repositories containing statistics about workflow creators and their templates. It processes this data, filters it based on user input, and generates a detailed Markdown report using an AI agent.

Key Features

1. Data Aggregation: Fetches creator and workflow statistics from GitHub JSON files.
2. Custom Filtering: Focuses on specific creators based on a username provided via chat.
3. AI-Powered Reports: Generates comprehensive Markdown reports with summaries, tables, and insights.
4. Output Flexibility: Saves reports locally with timestamps for easy access.

Data Retrieval & Processing

• Creators Data: Retrieved via an HTTP Request node from a JSON file containing aggregated statistics about creators.
• Workflows Data: Pulled from another JSON file with workflow metrics like visitor counts and inserter statistics.
• Data Merging: Combines creator and workflow data by matching usernames to provide enriched statistics.

Report Generation

The AI agent generates a Markdown report that includes:

• A summary of the creator’s contributions.
• A table of workflows with key metrics (e.g., unique visitors, inserters).
• Insights into trends or community feedback.

The report is saved locally as a file with a timestamp for tracking purposes.
