Deep research agent - automated research & Notion report builder
Overview This workflow acts as an AI-powered research assistant that takes a topic from the user, performs multi-step intelligent research, and stores the final report in Notion. It uses advanced search, content extraction, and AI summarization to deliver a high-quality research report—fully automated from query to publication. --- How It Works User Interaction The workflow starts by asking the user what topic they want to research. A “Strategy Agent” asks 2–3 clarifying questions to refine the scope. Once the user confirms, it creates a Notion database page with the research title. Search Query Generation Generates up to 3 relevant search queries for the given topic. Data Gathering (Loop over each query) Sends the query to Tavily Search API to find the most relevant blogs/articles. Picks the top-matched link and uses Tavily again to extract its content. Repeats the process for all 3 queries. Report Compilation Aggregates extracted content from all sources. A Final Report Agent creates a well-structured research report in Markdown. Converts Markdown → HTML → splits into chunks. Pushes each chunk into the Notion report page. Delivery Sends the final Notion report link back to the user. --- How to Use This workflow is triggered via Webhook. Attach the provided webhook URL to any application, form, or chatbot to collect the user’s topic. Once triggered, the workflow will run automatically and deliver the research link without any manual steps. --- Requirements To use this workflow, you’ll need: n8n account (self-hosted or cloud) Notion account with a database where reports will be stored Tavily API Key – for search & content extraction OpenRouter API key or OpenAI API key – for AI agents & report generation Google Gemini API Key – for converting Markdown to HTML and splitting content for Notion Notion database ID connected in n8n
