Batch Processing Tips
You don't necessarily have to use a Form Trigger. You can pull a list of URLs directly from an Airtable or Notion database to analyze dozens of competitor videos in bulk without having to enter URLs one by one.
The Utility of 'Skeleton' Analysis
Use the AI-generated 'skeleton' structure to see how successful creators (like Jeff Sue) organize their points. This makes it easier for you to build better scripts without having to watch the entire original video.

Step by Step
Building an AI YouTube Analyzer Workflow
- Create an 'n8n Form Trigger' as the starting point of the workflow to receive YouTube URL inputs from users.
- Add an 'Edit Fields' node to extract the unique Video ID from the submitted YouTube URL (e.g., capturing the string after 'v=')
- Connect the 'YouTube Node' using an API Key to pull video metadata such as Title, Description, and Thumbnail URL based on the Video ID.
- Insert the first 'Google Gemini Node' to perform a Deep Analysis.
- Configure the System Prompt on the Gemini Node to act as a YouTube Content Strategist.
- Add another 'Google Gemini Node' or a text processing node to extract a word-for-word transcript from the video.
- Connect an 'Airtable Node' (or Notion) at the end of the workflow.
- Perform 'Field Mapping' to transfer data: Title, Thumbnail, Full Transcript, AI Analysis, and Video Skeleton into the corresponding Airtable columns.
- Click 'Execute Workflow' and enter a YouTube video URL to test the system.
