🤖 AGENT OF THE WEEK (10/2/25)

Welcome back to Agent of the Week — one I used last month going to the UK:

Trip planning always turns into a time suck. Twenty tabs later: Reddit threads, blogs, Lonely Planet guides, restaurant ranking lists… and somehow you still feel like you’re missing something.

So I built my own personal travel agent. Give the agent any destination and it spits out a clean travel brief: top cities to visit, restaurants worth eating at, and activities you shouldn’t miss. Perfect for a quick “is this trip worth it?” scan or to have a ready-made guide you can edit in a doc.

How it works

1. Open up n8n: Create a new workflow (free plan is enough)

2. Add your model: I used Perplexity’s Sonar (for live data), but you could swap in GPT, Claude, or anything else

3. Set up the travel agent: The super prompt tells the model to act as a structured travel guide: outputting Cities → Restaurants → Activities with hidden gems and local tips

4. Research with Perplexity: The agent queries Reddit travel threads, blogs, and guides for authentic recommendations

5. Format the output: Structured into skimmable sections with bullets and emojis for quick clarity

6. Send it to Google Docs: The agent automatically creates a new doc in your Drive and drops in the entire travel brief, ready to share or edit

Bonus: Want the detailed video walkthrough and the exact n8n agent template? Get access to both in our Building AI Agents Community here!
