I recently won a hackathon by building a social media content system, and I want to share a valuable insight about building systems like this. I've been teaching AI automations for a while, and I've seen beginners make the same mistake over and over: they start building before they know what they're trying to build. Besides my extensive experience with n8n automations and Notion, I believe what truly helped me win this hackathon was dedicating significant time to planning the solution. I spent 6 days building in total, but 1.5 days were just spent planning and making small tests. I used Excalidraw to draft the entire concept, including ideas and the entire data flow. Click here to see the full diagram. The final workflow was not exactly as planned but was very close. You can find me on LinkedIn. I'll be happy to connect. Happy holidays! P.S. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments.

In this video, I walk you through how I built a fully automated AI content system using n8n and Google's Veo 3 to generate and post glass-cutting fruit ASMR videos on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok—completely on autopilot. No code required. From idea generation to video creation and posting, I show you exactly how the workflow works, how I set up the prompts, and how you can replicate the system for yourself. All the tools, prompts, and resources are yours for free, just watch the video to get everything you need. GOOGLE SHEET TEMPLATE
