How It Works
This workflow starts manually, fetching a list of articles from Paul Graham's website. It then intelligently extracts the essay links, processes them individually (limiting to the first three by default), and retrieves the full text of each selected essay. Utilizing n8n's LangChain integration, the workflow feeds the essay content into an OpenAI chat model (GPT-4o-mini) for summarization. Finally, it merges the extracted titles with the AI-generated summaries and the original essay URLs, providing a clean, organized output ready for review.
