AI-Powered Storage Finder Automation (n8n + OpenAI + Google Search API)
This project demonstrates a fully automated AI-driven system designed to help users find the most suitable storage rental options across the United States. Built using n8n, the workflow combines custom logic blocks, webhooks, OpenAI-powered reasoning, and external data sources to deliver accurate and context-aware storage recommendations. The project began with a prototype stage, where a curated Google Sheets dataset served as the primary source of information. This sheet contained pre-entered details about various storage facilities, such as pricing, features, and location data. Using the OpenAI API with GPT-3, the system was able to interpret user queries submitted through a webhook, normalize the input, and intelligently match the user’s needs to the available storage options in the dataset. The AI then produced structured and user-friendly responses returned through the n8n workflow.
Once the logic was validated and the AI’s decision-making proved reliable, the project moved into a more advanced second stage designed for real-world scalability. Instead of depending solely on static data, the system was expanded to include live data retrieval through the Google Search API. This allowed the AI agent to search for up-to-date local storage facilities based on the user’s geographic location and specific requirements. The workflow orchestrated multiple components: input assembly, model prompting, custom tools, and formatted output delivery. By integrating AI reasoning with real-time data collection, the system provided more comprehensive and accurate results.
The final automation functions as an intelligent agent capable of understanding queries, collecting relevant data, and generating tailored recommendations with minimal human intervention. This project highlights proficiency in AI integration, workflow automation, API orchestration, and building scalable agent-based systems, making it a strong demonstration of combining practical automation with modern AI capabilities for portfolio presentation.
