A student submits a form with their name, email, current skills, target role, experience level, and preferred location. A Code node validates inputs and builds the LinkedIn search URL. BrowserAct opens LinkedIn with a real stealth browser and extracts required skills from the top job postings \u2014 bypassing the blocks that standard HTTP requests hit. A Code node cleans the raw scraped output. GPT-4o-mini analyzes the student's skills against market demand and returns: all market skills with frequency counts, skills the student already has, missing skills by priority, a gap score, top 3 free courses with URLs, and a 3-month learning plan. A Code node parses each labeled section. Google Sheets and Gmail run in parallel \u2014 Sheets appends the full report and Gmail sends the formatted HTML plan to the student.\n\n## How it works\n- **1. Form \u2014 Student Profile** collects name, email, target role, current skills (comma-separated), experience level, and preferred location\n- **2. Code \u2014 Prepare and Build LinkedIn URL** validates required fields and builds the LinkedIn job search URL with encoded role and location\n- **3. BrowserAct \u2014 Scrape LinkedIn Jobs** uses a real stealth browser to open LinkedIn and extract required skills from the top job postings\n- **4. Code \u2014 Extract Job Data** normalises the BrowserAct response across possible field names, cleans whitespace, trims to 5000 characters, and passes all student data through\n- **5. AI Agent \u2014 Skill Gap Analysis** uses GPT-4o-mini to produce: market skills with post frequencies, skills the student already has, missing skills sorted by priority, gap score, top 3 free courses, and a 3-month plan\n- **OpenAI \u2014 GPT-4o-mini Model** language model attached to the AI Agent\n- **6. Code \u2014 Parse Analysis** extracts each labeled section from the AI output and passes all student metadata through\n- **7. Google Sheets \u2014 Save Gap Report** and **8. Gmail \u2014 Send 90-Day Plan** run in parallel from node 6 output\n\n## Set up steps\n1. Install the BrowserAct community node: Settings \u2192 Community Nodes \u2192 Install `n8n-nodes-browseract`\n2. Sign up at browseract.com \u2014 join their Discord for free credits. Create a BrowserAct workflow that opens a LinkedIn URL and extracts job titles and required skills. Replace `YOUR_BROWSERACT_WORKFLOW_ID` in node 3 and connect your BrowserAct API credential\n3. In **OpenAI \u2014 GPT-4o-mini Model** \u2014 connect your OpenAI API credential\n4. In **7. Google Sheets \u2014 Save Gap Report** \u2014 connect Google Sheets OAuth2 credential and replace `YOUR_GOOGLE_SHEET_ID`. Create a tab named Skill Gap Reports with columns: Name, Email, Target Role, Experience, Student Skills, Skills You Have, Skills Missing, Gap Score, Top Courses, 90 Day Plan, LinkedIn URL, Date\n5. In **8. Gmail \u2014 Send 90-Day Plan** \u2014 connect Gmail OAuth2 credential" }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "f500e63e-152f-43ab-85c1-52ceab23b643", "name": "Section \u2014 Student Profile Form and URL Preparation", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ -2528, 32 ], "parameters": { "color": 5, "width": 484, "height": 468, "content": "## Student Profile Form and URL Preparation\nForm collects name, email, target role, current skills, experience level, and location.
