Google Drive trigger (scan for new files added in a specific folder)\n2. Download the added image file\n3. Analyse the content of the image\n4. Merge Metadata and image file\n5. Write the Keywords into the Metadata (dc:subject/keywords) and create new image file\n6. Update the original file in the Google Drive folder\n\n## The following accesses are required for the workflow:\n- You have to install the [n8n-nodes-exif-data Community Node](https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-exif-data)\n- Google Drive: [Documentation](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/google)\n- AI API access (e.g. via OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or Ollama)\n\nYou can contact me via LinkedIn, if you have any questions: https://www.linkedin.com/in/friedemann-schuetz"
