Breakdown Documents into Study Notes using Templating MistralAI and Qdrant

This n8n workflow takes in a document such as a research paper, marketing or sales deck or company filings, and breaks them down into 3 templates: study guide, briefing doc and timeline.

These templates are designed to help a student, associate or clerk quickly summarise, learn and understand the contents to be more productive.

• Study guide - a short quiz of questions and answered generated by the AI Agent using the contents of the document.
• Briefing Doc - key information and insights are extracted by the AI into a digestable form.
• Timeline - key events, durations and people are identified and listed into a simple to understand timeline by the AI

How it works

• A local file trigger watches a local network directory for new documents.
• New documents are imported into the workflow, its contents extracted and vectorised into a Qdrant vector store to build a mini-knowledgebase.
• The document then passes through a series of template generating prompts where the AI will perform "research" on the knowledgebase to generate the template contents.
• Generated study guide, briefing and timeline documents are exported to a designated folder for the user.

Requirements

• Self-hosted version of n8n.
• Qdrant instance for knowledgebase.
• Mistral.ai account for embeddings and AI model.

Customising your workflow

Try adding your own templates or adjusting the existing templates to suit your unique use-case. Anything is quite possible and limited only by your imagination!
