Host Your Own AI Deep Research Agent with n8n Apify and OpenAI o3

Get high-quality research reports — straight to Notion.

This automation captures a research query through a public form, runs recursive web searches, scrapes insights, and compiles a final AI-generated report — all saved neatly in Notion. You control the depth and breadth, and the AI does the rest.

🧪 Easily swap out scrapers or LLMs to fit your stack and budget

✅ Setup guide & importable automation included
