About this workflow

Who is this for? - YouTube creators who want to speed up their post-production workflow - Content repurposers who turn videos into written summaries - Social media managers handling multiple YouTube channels - Anyone who needs quick, AI-generated thumbnails from video content What problem does this solve? Watching a full video to write a summary and then designing a matching thumbnail is tedious. This workflow does both automatically — transcribe, summarize, and generate a professional 1280x720 thumbnail — all from a single YouTube URL. What this workflow does 1. Takes a YouTube video URL as input 2. Transcribes the full video using deAPI (Whisper Large V3) 3. AI Agent analyzes the transcript, writes a concise summary, and uses the deAPI Prompt Booster tool to craft an optimized thumbnail image prompt 4. Generates a 1280x720 landscape thumbnail using deAPI 5. Uploads the thumbnail to Google Drive Setup Requirements - n8n instance (self-hosted or n8n Cloud) - deAPI account for video transcription, prompt boosting, and image generation - Anthropic account for the AI Agent - Google Drive API access for file uploads Installing the deAPI Node - n8n Cloud: Go to Settings → Community Nodes and toggle the "Verified Community Nodes" option - Self-hosted: Go to Settings → Community Nodes and install n8n-nodes-deapi Configuration 1. Add your deAPI credentials (API key + webhook secret) 2. Add your Anthropic credentials (API key) 3. Add your Google Drive credentials (OAuth2) 4. Set the target Google Drive folder ID in the Google Drive Upload node 5. Ensure your n8n instance is on HTTPS How to customize this workflow - Change the AI model: Swap Anthropic for OpenAI, Google Gemini, or any other LLM provider - Adjust the prompt style: Modify the AI Agent system message to target different thumbnail aesthetics (minimalist, bold text overlay, cinematic, etc.) - Change the output destination: Replace Google Drive with Dropbox, S3, Notion, or email delivery - Add a summary output: Insert a Google Docs or Notion node after the AI Agent to save the written summary alongside the thumbnail - Process in bulk: Replace the Manual Trigger with a Google Sheets trigger containing a list of YouTube URLs - Swap the trigger: Use a Form Trigger to let team members submit YouTube URLs through a web form - Other video platforms: The transcription node also supports Twitch VODs, X (Twitter), and Kick URLs
