❓ What problem does this workflow solve?
Creating a Business Model Canvas manually is time-consuming and often scattered across tools. This workflow solves that by allowing users to generate a fully populated, formatted, and printable Business Model Canvas in seconds using the power of AI, all structured in a professional A4 landscape layout.
⚙️ What this workflow does
- Starts with a chat input asking for your business idea
- Sends it to 9 separate AI agents, each focused on one section:
- Key Partners
- Key Activities
- Value Proposition
- Customer Relationships
- Customer Segments
- Key Resources
- Channels
- Cost Structure
- Revenue Streams
- Uses your preferred LLM (see below) to generate meaningful bullet points
- Converts output into a specific format
- Merges all sections into a clean, A4-styled HTML canvas
- Exports the result as a downloadable
.html
file
🛠️ Setup
- Import the workflow into your n8n instance
- Start the flow from the “When chat message received” node
- Describe your business idea when prompted (e.g., “Online bookshop with rare Persian literature”)
- Wait for AI processing to complete
- Visit the last node “HTML code to HTML file”
- Click Download to get your final canvas in
.html
format
🤖 LLM Flexibility (Choose Your Model)
This template supports any AI model with a chat interface:
- Ollama (self-hosted models like LLaMA, etc.)
- OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-3.5)
- Anything with a compatible node
You can easily change the LLM by updating the Language Model Node.
No need to modify any other logic or formatting.
🧪 How to customize this workflow
- Change the LLM model from the Ollama node to OpenAI, etc.
- Modify the final HTML layout in the “Turn to HTML” node
- Add a PDF export, email delivery, or Google Drive sync
- Replace the chat trigger with a webform, CRM hook, etc.
✅ Requirements
- A working LLM integration (Ollama or OpenAI recommended)
- n8n (self-hosted or cloud)
📌 Notes
- Sticky notes included for setup and instructions
- Each node clearly named by function (e.g. "Customer Segments Generator")
- Designed for speed, structure, and professional presentation
