Automate AI News Videos from Hacker News

This powerful n8n workflow transforms trending Hacker News articles into engaging, shareable video content for social media platforms. It leverages advanced AI to analyze articles, generate custom visuals, and produce complete videos with voiceovers and subtitles, perfect for content creators, marketers, and tech enthusiasts.

Key Features

  • Automatically source trending AI and automation articles from Hacker News.
  • Intelligent AI analysis to summarize articles and extract key content for video scripts.
  • Generate unique, contextually relevant images using Leonardo AI to visualize content.
  • Convert static images into dynamic video clips with RunwayML.
  • Compile multi-scene videos with AI voiceovers and synchronized subtitles using Creatomate.
  • Seamlessly publish generated videos to various social media platforms (YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Instagram) and cloud storage.

How It Works

The workflow begins by fetching the latest articles from Hacker News. An OpenAI agent evaluates each article to determine its relevance to AI or automation, providing a concise summary and suggesting relevant image URLs. For approved articles, the AI further refines the summary into short blurbs and generates precise image prompts. Leonardo AI creates custom images based on these prompts, which are then animated into short video segments by RunwayML. Finally, Creatomate combines these visual assets with AI-generated voiceovers and subtitles, derived from the article content, into a complete, professional video. The resulting video can then be uploaded to your preferred storage or directly published to social media.
