Turn Chinese Market Intelligence Into English Business Opportunities – Automatically

Discover untapped profitable ideas from China's massive digital ecosystem with this intelligent AI workflow.

What This Workflow Does

This n8n automation runs a sophisticated 5-step process daily:

• Smart Chinese Search: Queries Tavily API (with Serper backup) using 8 pre-defined Chinese keywords like "被动收入 自动化 2026" to find trending opportunities
• AI Translation & Quality Control: LLM translates all Chinese results to English while filtering out scams and low-quality ideas
• Intelligent Deduplication: Cross-references against 7-day Notion history with Chinese synonym awareness to avoid duplicate opportunities
• AI-Powered Scoring: Each idea receives detailed analysis including revenue model, setup costs, timeline, automation potential, risk assessment, and overall score (1-10)
