Setup
- Download the JSON and import it into an isolated n8n instance. Leave the workflow inactive.
- Connect your own credentials through n8n’s credential store. Replace
REPLACE_WITH_*values with your resource identifiers. - Inspect API destinations, Code nodes, database queries, file paths, and outbound actions.
- Run with synthetic data and harmless destinations. Enable triggers only after checking the actual outputs.
Requirements
An n8n instance with the listed node types and compatible versions. Service-connected workflows may require accounts, credentials, or paid APIs.

This workflow builds a competitor research agent using Exa.ai as a starting point. The HTTP Request tool is used to demonstrate how you can build powerful agents with minimal effort.
- Using Exa's findSimilar search, we ask it to look for similar companies ie. competitors, to our source company.
- This list of competitors is sent to 3 agents to scour the internet to find company overview, product offering and customer reviews.
- A report is then compiled from the output of all 3 agents into a notion table.

Step 2. Feed into Agent Pipeline
A loop is used to ensure competitors are processed one at a time. This is ideal when we don't want errors to fail the entire pipeline.

This agent uses SERPAPI to discover the competitor's product pages. Once found, it will use the webscraping tool to fetch the page's contents to extract the necessary data points.
Step 3. Discover Competitor Company and Funding Overview

Finally, once the agent's have completed their tasks successfully, we compiled a competitor report and insert it as a new row in our Notion table. You can check out a copy of this table here: https://jimleuk.notion.site/2d1c3c726e8e42f3aecec6338fd24333?v=de020fa196f34cdeb676daaeae44e110&pvs=4
