Generate branded PDF reports from incoming emails using Autype and OpenRouter


⚠️ Important: This workflow uses the [Autype](https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-autype) community node and requires a self-hosted n8n instance.

Send an email with a document request and optional PDF attachments. The AI assistant can summarize documents, compare multiple PDFs, draft new content, or create documents from scratch with internet research — all output as professionally branded PDFs using [Autype](https://autype.com). The finished document is delivered back to the sender via email.

Who is this for?

Consultants, analysts, project managers, and teams who need on-demand document generation. Send an email and get a branded PDF back — whether it's a summary, comparison, draft, or a freshly researched document.

Concrete example: Attach 3 PDF proposals and write "Compare these proposals and recommend the best option" — each PDF is OCR'd via [Autype Lens](https://autype.com/de/lens), the AI assistant produces a structured comparison with tables, and you receive a branded PDF within minutes.

This also works as an additional skill for an AI agent. Instead of an email trigger, connect the workflow to a webhook or chat trigger so an agent can call it when a user asks "create a summary of these documents."
