That’s the promise of automating User-Generated Content (UGC) with n8n and AI tools like Claude and Nano Banana. UGC is one of the most authentic forms of marketing, but most of it never makes it past the raw upload stage. Why? Because turning it into branded content for multiple platforms is time-consuming. Let’s walk through a workflow that solves this. Step 1: Capture the UGC Automatically Instead of waiting for your team to download files, use triggers: - Instagram/TikTok API → Fires when your brand is tagged in a post. - Google Drive → Fires when an influencer uploads raw footage.Now every new piece of UGC enters your pipeline automatically. Step 2: Extract and Organize Content The trigger passes the raw video plus metadata captions, hashtags, or creator details. Into your workflow. n8n makes sure you’ve got the context needed for repurposing later. Step 3: AI Caption Generation Different platforms require different tones and lengths. Claude or OpenAI can instantly produce: - A short, snappy version for Twitter/X. - A playful caption for TikTok/Instagram. - A professional angle for LinkedIn. This means one video can become three posts instantly. Step 4: Video Editing & Branding Raw UGC is rarely campaign-ready. Tools like Runway or Descript can: - Trim clips to the right length. - Add captions and subtitles. - Apply brand logos or overlays Step 5: Thumbnails with Nano Banana Every great video needs a strong thumbnail. Nano Banana takes a still from the video and, with an AI prompt like “Bold text overlay, colorful background, TikTok style”, generates multiple options. This makes testing and repurposing even easier. Step 6: Save & Store Google Drive, Dropbox, or S3 keeps everything neat: - Edited video - Captions file - Thumbnails - Metadata This way, you have a structured content library. Step 7: Distribute Automatically Finally, n8n posts directly to your platforms: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn—or simply notifies your team on Slack for review.

When people first hear about Nano Banana, they think it is just another “cool AI tool” for generating images. But here’s the truth: this isn’t about pretty pictures. It is about building services, products, and income streams that people will actually pay for. Let me paint the picture for you. 1. From Ads to Income - Imagine you are running an agency.
