Automates Academic Illustrations for AI Scientists

Just come across amazing paper about turning complex technical text into publication-ready figures. Try to simulate this on n8n since there is no public release to use this logic. Here how it works:

1. 𝑼𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑮𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊 (𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒓)

The Strategy: Feed it your "Source Context" (paper abstract) and act as the Stylist Agent.

The Prompt: "I am providing a methodology snippet. Act as a PaperBanana Stylist Agent. Extract the core steps and generate a high-quality 2D vector methodology diagram. Use a 'Tech Pastel' color palette, professional icons, and clean typography. Ensure the layout flows logically from left to right."

2. 𝑼𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒍𝒂𝒖𝒅𝒆 (𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓 & 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒄)

The Strategy: Use Claude to create the Plan or write Mermaid.js/TikZ code.

The Prompt: "Analyze this methodology. Act as the Planner Agent and create a structured list of every node and connection needed for a diagram. Then, act as the Critic Agent: tell me where an AI might likely 'hallucinate' or oversimplify this process."

3. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 "𝑰𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒑"

To be "PaperBanana-compliant," do this:

Take the image LLM gives you.

Upload it back to the chat and say: "Compare this image to my original text. Did you miss any data flows? If so, please regenerate with the missing parts added."
