This automated n8n workflow leverages AI to monitor construction site progress using daily site photos, providing real-time updates and detailed tracking. The system analyzes images, generates progress summaries, and appends data to a Google Sheet for comprehensive project management.
Good to Know
- Supports daily photo analysis for construction progress tracking
- Utilizes Google Gemini AI for intelligent image processing and analysis
- Includes memory to maintain context of ongoing construction updates
- Automates data appending to Google Sheets for real-time tracking
- Integrates with scheduled triggers for consistent daily updates
