n8n templates for small AI jobs

Here are 21 n8n workflow files, one for each recipe in our collections. Each file is a small workflow: a trigger (Gmail, a schedule, a form, a Drive folder or RSS), one OpenAI step with the recipe's prompt already filled in, and an output (Google Sheets, a Gmail draft or email, or Slack). There's a read-me sticky note on the canvas.

How to import: in n8n, open Workflows, then Import from file (or paste the JSON onto the canvas). Connect your Google, OpenAI and Slack credentials on each node, pick your sheet, folder and model, and run it once with test data. These files are starting points we've structure-checked, not workflows we've battle-tested on your accounts.
