Chat agent that writes a report on one n8n creator

An n8n workflow you talk to in a chat box. Give it the username of an n8n template creator, and an OpenAI agent looks up
that creator's weekly and monthly numbers and writes a Markdown report. The report appears in the chat, and a copy can
be saved to a folder on your computer.

How it differs from the daily report

Mindket lists a sibling workflow, Daily top n8n creators report by email, Drive and Telegram. This one waits for you. It
takes one username, answers in a chat and covers one creator. The sibling runs by itself every day, takes no input, covers
the top ten creators together and sends its report out by Google Drive, Gmail and Telegram. Pick this one to look
someone up on demand, and the other for a standing report.

What is inside

• workflow.json: the workflow as n8n exports it, 23 nodes and 13 sticky notes. It holds no credential.
• README.md: these notes.

What we changed from the original copy

• The workflow reads two public stats files, one for creators and one for workflows, and expects each to arrive wrapped
  in a data field. Both files are plain lists with no such field. We fetched them on 12 November 2026, and they held
  2391 creators and 11487 workflows. The four steps that looked for the wrapper (Parse Creators Data,
  Split Out Creators, Parse Workflow Data and Split Out Workflows) are gone, and each sort step now takes the
  downloaded items directly.
• Save creator-summary.md wrote into a folder on its author's computer. The path now reads <YOUR_FOLDER_PATH>.
• Three long sticky notes are gone, and three others lost their links to outside pages. The rest keep short titles.

Before you start

• An n8n instance, on n8n Cloud or your own server.
• An OpenAI API key.
• For the saved copy, an n8n that can write to a folder, such as a local install. The save step is optional.

Set it up

1. In n8n, create a workflow, open its menu, choose Import from File and pick workflow.json. Save it. The agent's
   lookup tool is this same workflow, called by its own ID, so it must be saved first.
2. Add an OpenAI credential and select it in gpt-4o-mini.
3. To keep a copy of each report, replace <YOUR_FOLDER_PATH> in Save creator-summary.md with a folder on the machine
   that runs n8n. To skip it, delete that node and creator-summary.
4. Open the chat, type a creator's n8n username, spelled exactly, and send it.

How a run goes

1. When chat message received takes your message and gives it to n8n Creator Stats Agent.
2. The agent's instructions ask for a Markdown report. It holds a summary, a table of the creator's workflows, an analysis
   and some extra insights. gpt-4o-mini is its model, with a temperature of 0.1, and Window Buffer Memory keeps the
   chat's earlier turns.
3. The agent calls its tool, Workflow Tool, which runs this same workflow through When Executed by Another Workflow.
   It passes the username as query.username.
4. In that second run, Global Variables sets the address of the two stats files and the username. stats_aggregate_creators
   and stats_aggregate_workflows download them.
5. Each list is sorted by weekly inserters, highest first. Take Top 25 Creators and Take Top 300 Workflows cut them
   down, and Creators Data and Workflows Data keep the fields the report needs.
6. Merge Creators & Workflows joins each creator to their workflows by username, Filter By Creator Username keeps
   the one creator you asked for, and Aggregate and Workflow Response hand the data back to the agent.
7. The agent writes the report. creator-summary turns it into a text file for Save creator-summary.md, which writes a
   Markdown file named with the date and time. Summary Report runs last and sets the reply you read in the chat.

Change the look

• What the report holds: the instructions in n8n Creator Stats Agent.
• How many creators and workflows are searched: Take Top 25 Creators and Take Top 300 Workflows.
• The model: gpt-4o-mini. The file holds a disabled Ollama Chat Model for a local model. Connect it in place of
  the OpenAI one to try that.
• Where copies go: Save creator-summary.md.

Good to know

• The facts below come from pages and n8n source read on 12 November 2026.
• The stats files are public, and the workflow reads them live from the address in Global Variables. If their owner
  moves or reshapes them, the lookup fails until you update that address.
• Only a creator in the weekly top 25 is found, and only workflows in the weekly top 300 appear in the table. For anyone
  else the tool returns nothing, and the agent says the data is unavailable.
• The username must match exactly, including its case.
• The model is gpt-4o-mini. OpenAI's deprecations page gives 14 January 2027 as the shutdown date of gpt-4o,
  gpt-4o-mini, gpt-4.1 and gpt-4.1-mini, and names gpt-6-luna as their replacement. Pick another model before that
  date.
• When Executed by Another Workflow holds an example input with the username joe. It only shows the shape of the
  input, and the real value comes from the agent.
• A language model writes the report and can misread a number. Check anything you quote against the lookup's data.
• Billing: OpenAI bills each chat turn and each report.
• Your data: your message and the creator's stats go to OpenAI. The stats files are fetched over the web.
• Credentials: the JSON holds none.
