AI-Powered Environmental Health Research Aggregator workflow

Context

Researchers and public health professionals manually monitored multiple scientific databases and news sources daily, read through lengthy publications, extracted key findings, removed duplicates, categorized content, and maintained updated databases—spending 15+ hours per week on repetitive information gathering tasks.

Approach

Built n8n automation workflow that ingests data from multiple RSS feeds and APIs (IARC, NIEHS, PubMed, UN, EPA), merges and parses content into structured metadata, removes duplicates and cleans data, uses OpenAI to enhance titles and generate concise summaries with standardized formatting, filters content by relevance using AI categorization, stores processed articles in Supabase database, and powers a Lovable web app with real-time updates for public access.

Architecture

  1. Multiple RSS/API sources
  2. Merge nodes
  3. RSS/News API parsers
  4. Duplicate removal
  5. OpenAI enhancement (title normalization, summarization, tag generation)
  6. Structured output parser
  7. AI filtering and categorization
  8. Supabase storage
  9. Lovable app real-time sync
  10. Notification triggers (Slack/Telegram)
