Key Fields
FIELD STAMPS🔧 Workflow
Every weekday at 8:00 AM, the n8n automation tool regularly crawls newly updated brokerage research reports, Amazon business bestseller lists, top think tank industry reports, and viral workplace official account content, inputs them into the Claude API to generate a 3-page PDF executive guide and a 5-minute voiceover script following the template of '3 core conclusions + 2 decision recommendations + 1 set of related data,' converts it to speech using Tencent Cloud TTS, and synchronously pushes it to paid WeChat enterprise work groups and Knowledge Planet (Zhishixingqiu) columns. Every Friday, an additional 'Weekly Executive Must-Read Collection' is output, published after manual final review, while collecting members' personalized questions for a 15-minute live Q&A session every Saturday. Inputs are publicly accessible industry reports, business books, and industry news, and outputs are knowledge packages directly usable for corporate decision-making.
🛠 Setup Requirements
Setup requires preparing a Claude API key (for report and book review summary rewriting and decision recommendation generation), an n8n cloud server (for scheduled crawling of research report websites, official accounts, and Amazon bestseller lists), a WeChat Work robot account, a Knowledge Planet creator account, and Research Report Pass (Yanbaotong) API subscription permissions. Technical capability only requires writing basic prompt words and configuring n8n workflows without writing code; reserve 10 hours for initial content template and crawling rule debugging, allowing the full process to run in 1 to 2 weeks with startup costs under 500 RMB.

💸 Cost
Monthly costs are about 1,100 RMB, including Claude API call fees of about 300 RMB (processing about 200 reports/book review contents monthly), n8n cloud server fees of about 200 RMB, Tencent Cloud TTS voice service fees of about 100 RMB, and Research Report Pass API subscription fees of about 500 RMB.
⏱ Time Investment
2 to 3 hours invested daily, including 1 hour for manual review of AI-generated summaries and book review content to correct potential AI hallucination errors, 1 hour for replying to personalized questions from high-value members, and the remaining time for content template optimization and new member onboarding.
🚀 Getting Started
Step 1: Choose 1 vertical niche, such as AI + New Energy or AI + Consumer Retail, intensively read 3 top brokerage research reports daily for 7 consecutive days, manually write 1 executive version guide and publish it in your free workplace WeChat group, collecting user feedback to adjust content style and granularity; when more than 20 users in the group explicitly express willingness to pay, open Knowledge Planet and paid communities, launch a 9.9 RMB first-month trial membership to run through the minimum commercial closed-loop, and then gradually expand B-end enterprise customers.
🔑 Keys to Success
- ✅ All output content must include actionable decision-making recommendations; mere copying of original text summaries is prohibited
- ✅ All cited reports and books must retain original links and disclaimers to avoid copyright disputes and misleading risks
- ✅ Prioritize expanding B-end enterprise annual members to increase average order value and renewal rates, reducing the impact of C-end user churn
- ✅ Establish a user feedback ledger, adjusting industries and topics covered by reports weekly based on member needs to improve user retention
⚠️ 风险
- ⚠️ AI-generated summaries may contain factual errors or misinterpret the core conclusions of the original report, leading to executive decision-making errors, legal disputes, and reputational risks
- ⚠️ Brokerage research reports and business books are subject to copyright protection; unauthorized commercial use may lead to lawsuits by original authors or institutions, facing heavy compensation
- ⚠️ Paid users may centrally request refunds if they feel content value is insufficient, triggering a decline in reputation or even platform penalty rules
- ⚠️ Top research report platforms and official accounts may tighten content interfaces, causing interruptions in automatically crawled content sources and affecting content update frequency
