Build an AI agent that scrapes Reddit daily with BrowserAct and n8n — no code, no APIs, no getting blocked. Full step-by-step tutorial with live demo. Every morning, this 5-node n8n workflow reads a list of subreddits from Google Sheets, sends BrowserAct to scrape each one with a real browser, then passes the raw post data to an AI agent powered by GPT-5.4 with live web search. The agent analyzes every post through six lenses — theme clustering, pain point extraction, opportunity radar, monetization signals, content calendar, and competitive intelligence — then archives the full report back to Google Sheets automatically. In this tutorial, I walk through the entire build: setting up BrowserAct's custom Reddit template (one input, no complexity), configuring the Google Sheets config and results tabs, and wiring up the 5-node n8n workflow step by step. I show the actual AI system prompt that powers the 6-lens analysis, run a live demo scraping r/n8n, and walk through real output — including monetization signals, web-verified pricing data, and concrete action items the agent generated. As a bonus, I demo Reddit Pulse — a live dashboard I built with Lovable using BrowserAct's MCP server. No n8n, no spreadsheets — just a standalone app that scrapes subreddits on demand through MCP.
