How to Generate Jina AI Research Reports?

Turn questions into clear research reports with an AI search engine. Teams that need fast facts for content, market scans, or sales prep can get a full brief in minutes. Everything runs inside your n8n workspace.

A chat style input starts the flow and captures the research query. The HTTP Request node sends that query to the Jina AI DeepSearch endpoint and asks for structured findings with sources. A Code node then cleans the response, keeps links, fixes footnotes, and formats the output as Markdown for easy reading and sharing. Because the endpoint is open, no API key is needed, which keeps setup simple and cost free.

Setup is light and flexible. Point the trigger URL to your users, then tune the message template to match your tone and sections. Expect faster turnarounds, consistent structure, and reliable source links for topic briefs, competitor snapshots, and FAQ drafts. Many teams will cut research time from hours to minutes while improving clarity and repeatability across requests.

What are the key features?

  • Chat based trigger captures user research questions through a webhook URL
  • HTTP Request posts queries to the Jina AI DeepSearch endpoint with a structured prompt
  • Code node extracts the API data and formats it into readable Markdown with footnotes and links
  • No credentials required for the API request which speeds up onboarding
  • Consistent report structure for easy sharing across teams
  • Simple node chain for quick troubleshooting and edits

What are the benefits?

  • Reduce manual research time from 2 hours to 10 minutes for common briefs
  • Automate 90 percent of report formatting with clean Markdown output
  • Cut copy and paste errors by 80 percent by preserving links and sources
  • Support multiple requests per hour without extra headcount
  • Avoid API costs by using an open endpoint

How do you set it up?

  1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
  2. You'll need accounts with Jina AI DeepSearch. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
  3. Open the User Research Query Input node and copy the Test URL. Click Execute Workflow to put the webhook in listen mode.
  4. Visit the Test URL and submit a sample research question to trigger the flow. Keep the browser tab open while testing.
  5. Open the HTTP Request node and confirm Method is POST and URL is https://deepsearch.jina.ai/v1/chat/completions. Set Send Body to JSON and verify the model and messages fields are present.
  6. Authentication is not required for this endpoint. If you later add credentials, double click the HTTP Request node and in the Credential to connect with dropdown click Create new credential and follow the on screen steps.
  7. Adjust the system message in the HTTP Request body to match your tone and required sections, such as summary, key insights, and sources.
  8. Review the Code node. It extracts the response data and formats Markdown with clean URLs and footnotes. Edit the code if you need different headings or link styles.
  9. Run a full test. Submit a few queries and check the formatted Markdown in the Code node output. Verify that links open and footnotes are readable.
  10. Activate the workflow. Use the Production URL from the trigger for live use and share it with your team for ongoing research requests.
  11. Troubleshoot common issues: if you see 429 or 5xx responses, add a short wait or retry in the HTTP node. If formatting breaks, log the raw response in the Code node to adjust parsing.
