Generate Fact-Checked Research Reports with Llama AI and Web Search

Who’s it for

This template is designed for creators, researchers, freelance writers, founders, and automation professionals who want a reliable way to generate structured, citation-backed research content without doing manual data collection. Anyone creating blog posts, reports, briefs, or research summaries will benefit from this system.

What it does

This workflow turns a simple form submission into a complete research pipeline. It accepts a topic, determines what needs to be researched, gathers information from the web, writes content, fact-checks it against the collected sources, edits the draft for clarity, and compiles a final report. It behaves like a small agentic research team inside n8n.

How it works

A form collects the research topic, depth, and desired output format.

A research agent generates focused search queries.

SERP API retrieves real-time results for each query.

The workflow aggregates and structures all findings.

A writing agent creates the first draft based on the data.

A fact-checking agent verifies statements against the sources. An editor agent improves tone, flow, and structure. A final review agent produces the completed research document with citations. This workflow includes annotated sticky notes to explain each step and guide configuration.

Requirements

Groq API key for running the Llama 3.3 model. SERP API key for performing web searches. An n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted). No additional dependencies are required.

How to set up

Add your Groq and SERP API credentials using n8n’s credential manager. Update the form fields if you want custom depth or output formats. Follow the sticky notes for detailed configuration. Run the workflow and submit a topic through the form to generate your first research report.

How to customize

Replace the writer agent with a different model if you prefer a specific writing style. Adjust the number of search queries or SERP results for deeper research. Add additional steps such as PDF generation, sending outputs to Notion, or publishing to WordPress. Modify the form to suit industry-specific content needs.
