AI Multimedia Content Intelligent Analysis Workflow

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow integrates the Google Gemini (PaLM) large language model, supporting intelligent analysis of multiple media formats, including images and PDF documents. Featuring a multi-branch design, it demonstrates five distinct AI processing methods to flexibly address diverse needs such as single image, batch multi-image, customized prompts, and multimedia file parsing. The core highlight lies in combining n8n’s automation nodes to achieve end-to-end automation of media acquisition, format conversion, AI interaction, and result processing.

Core Problems Addressed

  • How to automate the acquisition and intelligent analysis of images and documents from various sources and formats
  • Flexibly customize prompts to meet different analysis requirements for precise content recognition and understanding
  • Simplify multimedia data preprocessing (e.g., binary to Base64 conversion) and batch processing workflows
  • Leverage direct calls to generative AI APIs for multiple intelligent tasks such as content description, color extraction, and text summarization

Application Scenarios

  • Automated media content tagging and description generation
  • Feature extraction and classification of e-commerce product images
  • Automated analysis and filtering of design assets
  • Automatic summarization and information extraction from documents
  • AI-driven content moderation and quality inspection

Main Workflow Steps

  1. Trigger Start: Manually initiate the workflow execution.
  2. Define Input Data: Configure an array containing image URLs along with corresponding custom prompts; define multiple image and PDF document links.
  3. Data Splitting and Filtering: Split the array into individual data items and filter the items that require processing based on conditions.
  4. Media Acquisition: Automatically fetch images and PDF files via HTTP requests.
  5. Format Conversion: Convert binary files to Base64 encoding to facilitate transmission and AI API calls.
  6. Call Google Gemini API: Invoke the generative AI model for content recognition and analysis on single images, multiple images, images with custom prompts, and PDF documents respectively.
  7. Multi-branch Processing: Execute different handling methods including automatic binary passthrough, iterative processing with custom prompts, standard per-item API calls, PDF analysis, and advanced API control to satisfy diverse requirements.
