Automate Competitor YouTube Insights with AI & n8n

Stop manually watching hours of competitor YouTube videos every week. This n8n workflow automatically processes your competitors' video URLs from a Google Sheet every Monday at 8AM, using AI to extract critical competitive intelligence and save structured insights to Airtable.

What This Workflow Does

• Summarizes competitor videos automatically — WayinVideo extracts structured highlights and tags from each competitor video without any manual watching or note-taking
• Extracts ten competitive intelligence fields per video — GPT-4o-mini identifies content type, messaging angle, key claims, audience signals, pricing signals, strengths, weaknesses, opportunity for your team, urgency score, and urgency reasoning
• Assigns an urgency score from 1 to 10 — GPT rates how urgently your team needs to respond to this competitor content with a one-sentence explanation of why
• Identifies specific opportunities for your team — Each Airtable record includes actionable insights on how to respond to competitor moves
• Runs on autopilot every Monday morning — Set it once and get fresh competitive intelligence delivered weekly without any manual work

Use Cases

• Marketing teams tracking competitor messaging angles and positioning changes in video content
• Product managers monitoring competitor feature announcements and product updates via YouTube
• Growth teams analyzing competitor acquisition strategies and promotional campaigns
• SaaS companies keeping tabs on competitor pricing signals and value propositions
