👥 Who is this for?

  • Startup founders validating or pitching new ideas
  • Business consultants running strategy sessions
  • Product teams defining business logic visually
  • Agencies offering planning frameworks to clients

❓ What problem does this workflow solve?

Creating a Business Model Canvas manually is time-consuming and often scattered across tools. This workflow solves that by allowing users to generate a fully populated, formatted, and printable Business Model Canvas in seconds using the power of AI, all structured in a professional A4 landscape layout.

⚙️ What this workflow does

  • Starts with a chat input asking for your business idea
  • Sends it to 9 separate AI agents, each focused on one section:
    • Key Partners
    • Key Activities
    • Value Proposition
    • Customer Relationships
    • Customer Segments
    • Key Resources
    • Channels
    • Cost Structure
    • Revenue Streams
  • Uses your preferred LLM (see below) to generate meaningful bullet points
  • Converts output into a specific format
  • Merges all sections into a clean, A4-styled HTML canvas
  • Exports the result as a downloadable .html file

🛠️ Setup

  1. Import the workflow into your n8n instance
  2. Start the flow from the “When chat message received” node
  3. Describe your business idea when prompted (e.g., “Online bookshop with rare Persian literature”)
  4. Wait for AI processing to complete
  5. Visit the last node “HTML code to HTML file”
  6. Click Download to get your final canvas in .html format

🤖 LLM Flexibility (Choose Your Model)

This template supports any AI model with a chat interface:

  • Ollama (self-hosted models like LLaMA, etc.)
  • OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-3.5)
  • Anything with a compatible node

You can easily change the LLM by updating the Language Model Node.
No need to modify any other logic or formatting.

🧪 How to customize this workflow

  • Change the LLM model from the Ollama node to OpenAI, etc.
  • Modify the final HTML layout in the “Turn to HTML” node
  • Add a PDF export, email delivery, or Google Drive sync
  • Replace the chat trigger with a webform, CRM hook, etc.

✅ Requirements

  • A working LLM integration (Ollama or OpenAI recommended)
  • n8n (self-hosted or cloud)

📌 Notes

  • Sticky notes included for setup and instructions
  • Each node clearly named by function (e.g. "Customer Segments Generator")
  • Designed for speed, structure, and professional presentation

AI-Powered Business Model Canvas Generator (LLM Flexible)

This n8n workflow leverages the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to dynamically generate content for a Business Model Canvas based on user input. It provides a flexible and automated way to brainstorm and structure business ideas.

What it does

This workflow automates the generation of Business Model Canvas elements through the following steps:

  1. Listens for Chat Messages: The workflow is triggered when a new chat message is received, acting as the user's prompt for generating business model ideas.
  2. Initializes AI Agent: An AI Agent is initialized, likely configured to understand and process requests related to business model generation.
  3. Generates Business Model Canvas Content: The AI Agent, powered by an Ollama Chat Model, processes the user's chat message to generate various components of a Business Model Canvas (e.g., Value Propositions, Customer Segments, Key Activities, etc.).
  4. Processes AI Output: The generated content from the AI Agent is then processed by a custom Code node, which likely formats or structures the output for further use.
  5. Merges Data: A Merge node is present, suggesting that the AI-generated content might be combined with other data sources or pre-defined templates.
  6. Converts to File (Potential Output): The workflow includes a "Convert to File" node, indicating that the final Business Model Canvas content can be outputted into a file format (e.g., CSV, JSON, or a custom document).
  7. Provides Contextual Notes: A Sticky Note is included in the workflow, likely serving as a place for internal documentation, instructions, or important context for the workflow's maintainers.

Prerequisites/Requirements

  • n8n Instance: An active n8n instance to host and run the workflow.
  • Ollama Installation: Ollama must be installed and running, with the desired language model available, as the workflow uses the "Ollama Chat Model" node.
  • LangChain Integration: The n8n instance needs to have the @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain package installed and configured for the AI Agent and Chat Trigger nodes to function.
  • Chat Platform Integration: The "When chat message received" trigger implies integration with a chat platform (e.g., Slack, Discord, custom chat interface) where users will send their prompts.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Chat Trigger: Set up the "When chat message received" trigger to connect to your preferred chat platform and listen for incoming messages.
  3. Configure Ollama Chat Model: Ensure your Ollama Chat Model node is correctly configured to connect to your running Ollama instance and use the appropriate language model.
  4. Review AI Agent Configuration: Inspect the "AI Agent" node to understand its prompt engineering and tool definitions, which dictate how it generates Business Model Canvas content.
  5. Customize Code Node: If specific formatting or additional logic is required for the AI-generated output, modify the "Code" node accordingly.
  6. Define File Output: Configure the "Convert to File" node to specify the desired output format and how the generated Business Model Canvas content should be structured in the file.
  7. Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow. You can then send chat messages to the configured platform to trigger the generation process.

If AI returns non-JSON, keep “Return only a JSON array” as the last line of the prompt and keep jsonOutput enabled. Consider adding validation on parsing.warnings to gate Salesforce writes. For discounts/taxes in OLI: Standard OLI fields don’t support per-line discount amounts directly; model them in UnitPrice or custom fields. Replace the Composite API URL with your org’s domain or use the Salesforce node’s Bulk Upsert for simplicity.
