AI Agent generates daily ideas from Product Hunt top products and trending Github repos

AI agents are rapidly transforming the automation landscape, enabling tasks that were previously unimaginable without human intervention. These autonomous systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated, capable of understanding complex instructions, making decisions, and taking actions with minimal oversight.

In this tutorial, I’ve harnessed the power of n8n’s AI Agent node to create intelligent workflows that not only monitor technology trends but actively generate creative business opportunities from them — demonstrating how AI agents can become valuable partners in your ideation and research processes.

That’s exactly what I demonstrate in my latest YouTube tutorial, where I show you how to harness the power of n8n’s AI Agent node to create two powerful automated workflows:

1. A GitHub Trend Analyzer that monitors trending repositories and generates project ideas
2. A Product Hunt Opportunity Finder that identifies trending products and suggests business opportunities

What are AI Agents in n8n?

n8n, the powerful open-source workflow automation tool, recently introduced AI Agents — autonomous systems that can receive data, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals.

Unlike traditional automation nodes that simply process data, AI Agents can:

  • Understand complex instructions

  • Choose appropriate tools based on the task

  • Generate creative content

  • Make independent decisions

  • Remember context across executions

Workflow #1: GitHub Trending Repository Idea Generator

This workflow automatically:

  1. Scans GitHub's trending page at scheduled intervals
  2. Analyzes the most promising repositories
  3. Generates creative project and business ideas based on each repository
  4. Delivers formatted reports directly to your Telegram

Workflow #2: Product Hunt Trend Analyzer

Similar to our GitHub workflow, this one:

  1. Monitors Product Hunt for trending products
  2. Analyzes each product's potential
  3. Generates ideas for complementary products or services
  4. Delivers insights directly to your messaging platform

The output will look like this:

Conclusion

The combination of workflow automation and artificial intelligence opens up incredible possibilities for streamlining creative processes. By setting up these idea generation workflows, you’re essentially creating your own personal R&D department that works tirelessly to identify opportunities.
