Create Project Summaries from Meeting Transcripts with GPT-4 and Google Docs

This n8n workflow automates the process of generating concise project summaries from meeting transcripts using an OpenAI GPT-4 chat model and then storing these summaries in a Google Docs document. It's ideal for teams looking to streamline their meeting follow-ups and keep project documentation organized and easily accessible.

What it does

This workflow performs the following key steps:

1. Manual Trigger: The workflow is initiated manually, allowing you to control when a summary is generated.
2. Edit Fields (Set): Prepares the input data by setting a meetingTranscript variable, which will contain the raw text of the meeting.
3. Basic LLM Chain: Utilizes a LangChain "Basic LLM Chain" to process the meeting transcript.
4. OpenAI Chat Model: Employs an OpenAI Chat Model (likely GPT-4 or similar) to analyze the transcript and generate a project summary.
5. Markdown: Formats the generated project summary into Markdown.
6. Google Docs: Creates a new Google Docs document and inserts the Markdown-formatted project summary.
7. HTTP Request: This node is present in the workflow but not connected to the main flow, suggesting it might be a remnant or intended for future expansion (e.g., posting the summary to another service).
8. No Operation, do nothing: This node is also present but not connected, serving as a placeholder or unused element.
9. Sticky Note: A sticky note is included for documentation purposes within the workflow itself.
10. Code: This node is present but not connected, suggesting it might be a remnant or intended for future expansion.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

• n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
• OpenAI Account & API Key: An OpenAI API key with access to chat models (e.g., GPT-4). This will need to be configured as an n8n credential for the "OpenAI Chat Model" node.
• Google Account: A Google account with access to Google Docs. This will need to be configured as an n8n credential for the "Google Docs" node.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Credentials:
   • Set up your OpenAI API Key credential for the "OpenAI Chat Model" node.
   • Set up your Google Account credential for the "Google Docs" node.
3. Provide Meeting Transcript: In the "Edit Fields (Set)" node, update the meetingTranscript variable with the actual text of the meeting you want to summarize.
4. Execute Workflow: Click the "Execute Workflow" button to run the workflow. It will generate a project summary and create a new Google Docs document with the summary.
5. Review Output: Check your Google Docs for the newly created summary document.
