n8n AI Workflow Templates: 5 Ready-to-Import Automations

Setting up AI automation from scratch takes days of wiring nodes, debugging API responses, and figuring out the right prompt format. These 5 workflows are already built and tested. Import, configure your API keys, activate.

These come from a production system that runs daily, monitoring 20+ RSS feeds, summarizing YouTube videos, generating weekly digests, and reviewing pull requests automatically.

What you get:

5 workflow JSON files (import directly into n8n):

1. YouTube Monitor + AI Digest, monitors YouTube channels via RSS, generates AI summaries (Gemini), sends weekly email digest. No YouTube API key needed.

1. RSS Intelligence Feed, aggregates 8+ RSS feeds every 6 hours, scores each article for relevance to your interests (1-10), filters high-signal items, sends to your notification channel.

1. AI Content Digest Generator, reads saved articles from a directory, groups by category, generates AI summaries with top picks and trend analysis. Perfect for newsletters.

1. Service Health Check + Alerts, monitors HTTP endpoints every 5 minutes. Debounced alerts (no spam), recovery notifications, downtime tracking.

1. AI Code Review on PR, GitHub webhook triggers AI review of PR diffs. Splits large diffs into chunks, reviews each for security/performance/logic issues, posts findings as a comment.

Plus:

• Docker Compose setup (n8n + Postgres, n8n pinned to 1.70.0) with one-command start and env validation
• Environment template with all required variables documented
• 12-chapter, ~5,000-word guide with 5 mermaid diagrams: credentials walkthrough (three failure modes per credential), per-workflow deep-dives, LLM provider swapping with copy-paste JSON for OpenAI / Anthropic / Ollama, 10-entry troubleshooting appendix, production checklist, observability patterns
• Every workflow reads API keys directly from environment variables, no manual node editing after import

Who this is for:

• Developers who want AI automation without building from scratch
• Solo founders who need monitoring and content processing on autopilot
• Teams looking to add AI code review to their PR workflow

Who this is NOT for:

• If you don't use Docker, this requires some adaptation
• If you need enterprise-grade monitoring, use Datadog/PagerDuty instead

Cost to run: ~$3-6/month for all 5 workflows on Gemini Flash. Health checks use no AI.
