Proof of Concept - New Hire Company Biography Automation

We've implemented an efficient workflow that automates employee biography creation using N8N as a proof of concept. The system operates as follows: when new hires submit information through a Google Form (included as part of their onboarding process), our workflow detects the entry, extracts data from their social profiles (LinkedIn, Facebook, and other platforms provided in the form) via web scraping, and combines it with their questionnaire responses.

The core functionality leverages an AI writing assistant that generates professional biographies while maintaining consistent brand voice through our RAG database of previously approved bios. Each newly approved biography is indexed back into this database, creating a self-improving system.

This approach is particularly valuable for this company, which maintains a very specific brand voice across its six global offices in London, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Singapore, Austin (TX), and Colorado.

The workflow manages the entire process from initial data collection to final document creation in Google Docs, including review processes and approval tracking. Finalized bios are automatically indexed in our knowledge base for future reference.

Currently built on Google Workspace, we plan to port this proof of concept to the Microsoft ecosystem for production, utilizing Power Automate, SharePoint, and Microsoft Graph API for integration with enterprise systems.

This solution significantly reduces the time required to create professional biographies while ensuring consistent quality and brand alignment across all employee profiles.
