An n8n workflow that scrapes trending TikTok product videos twice a week, has Claude score each product for saturation and audience fit, then logs everything to Google Sheets and pings your Telegram with the top 5. See the full recipe →
3. Monitor Competitor Prices on Your Key Products and Get Alerted When Undercut

4. Mine TikTok Comments for Your Next Video Ideas with AI
An n8n workflow that scrapes the comments on your recent TikToks, has Claude cluster the questions and requests into concrete video ideas, and delivers a weekly 'what to film next' brief to Notion — so your content calendar is powered by what your audience is actually asking for.
