Template description

Create a Telegram bot that combines advanced AI functionalities with LangChain nodes and new tools.

Nodes as tools and the HTTP request tool are a new n8n feature that extend custom workflow tool and simplify your setup. We used the workflow tool in the previous Telegram template to call the Dalle-3 model.

In the new version, we've achieved similar results using the HTTP Request tool and the Telegram node tool instead. The main difference is that Telegram bot becomes more flexible. The LangChain Agent node can decide which tool to use and when. In the previous version, all steps inside the custom workflow tool were executed sequentially.

⚠️ Note that you'd need to select the Tools Agent to work with new tools.

Before launching the template, make sure to set up your OpenAI and Telegram credentials.

Here’s how the new Telegram bot works:

  1. Telegram Trigger listens for new messages in a specified Telegram chat. This node activates the rest of the workflow after receiving a message.

  2. AI Tool Agent receives input text, processes it using the OpenAI model and replies to a user. It addresses users by name and sends image links when an image is requested.

  3. The OpenAI GPT-4o model generates context-aware responses. You can configure the model parameters or swap this node entirely.

  4. Window buffer memory helps maintain context across conversations. It stores the last 10 interactions and ensures that the agent can access previous messages within a session. Conversations from different users are stored in different buffers.

  5. The HTTP request tool connects with OpenAI's DALL-E-3 API to generate images based on user prompts. The tool is called when the user asks for an image.

  6. Telegram node tool sends generated images back to the user in a Telegram chat. It retrieves the image from the URL returned by the DALL-E-3 model. This does not happen directly, however. The response from the HTTP request tool is first stored in the Agent’s scratchpad (think of it as a short-term memory). In the next iteration, the Agent sends the updated response to the GPT model once again. The GPT model will then create a new tool request to send the image back to the user. To pass the image URL, the tool uses the new $fromAI() expression.

  7. Send final reply node sends the final response message created by the agent back to the user on Telegram. Even though the image was already passed to the user, the Agent always stops with the final response that comes from dedicated output.

⚠️ Note, that the Agent may not adhere to the same sequence of actions in 100% of situations. For example, sometimes it could skip sending the file via the Telegram node tool and instead just send an URL in the final reply. If you have a longer series of predefined steps, it may be better to use the “old” custom workflow tool.

This template is perfect as a starting point for building AI agentic workflow. Take a look at another agentic Telegram AI template that can handle both text and voice messages.

Scrape and summarize webpages with AI

This workflow integrates both web scraping and NLP functionalities. It uses HTML parsing to extract links, HTTP requests to fetch essay content, and AI-based summarization using GPT-4o. It's an excellent example of an end-to-end automated task that is not only efficient but also provides real value by summarizing valuable content. Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.50.0 or later.

AI agent that can scrape webpages

⚙️🛠️🚀🤖🦾 This template is a PoC of a ReAct AI Agent capable of fetching random pages (not only Wikipedia or Google search results). On the top part there's a manual chat node connected to a LangChain ReAct Agent. The agent has access to a workflow tool for getting page content. The page content extraction starts with converting query parameters into a JSON object. There are 3 pre-defined parameters: url** – an address of the page to fetch method** = full / simplified maxlimit** - maximum length for the final page. For longer pages an error message is returned back to the agent Page content fetching is a multistep process: An HTTP Request mode tries to get the page content. If the page content was successfuly retrieved, a series of post-processing begin: Extract HTML BODY; content Remove all unnecessary tags to recude the page size Further eliminate external URLs and IMG scr values (based on the method query parameter) Remaining HTML is converted to Markdown, thus recuding the page lengh even more while preserving the basic page structure The remaining content is sent back to an Agent if it's not too long (maxlimit = 70000 by default, see CONFIG node). NB: You can isolate the HTTP Request part into a separate workflow. Check the Workflow Tool description, it guides the agent to provide a query string with several parameters instead of a JSON object. Please reach out to Eduard is you need further assistance with you n8n workflows and automations! Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.

Building Your First WhatsApp Chatbot

This n8n template builds a simple WhatsApp chabot acting as a Sales Agent. The Agent is backed by a product catalog vector store to better answer user's questions. This template is intended to help introduce n8n users interested in building with WhatsApp. How it works This template is in 2 parts: creating the product catalog vector store and building the WhatsApp AI chatbot. A product brochure is imported via HTTP request node and its text contents extracted. The text contents are then uploaded to the in-memory vector store to build a knowledgebase for the chatbot. A WhatsApp trigger is used to capture messages from customers where non-text messages are filtered out. The customer's message is sent to the AI Agent which queries the product catalogue using the vector store tool. The Agent's response is sent back to the user via the WhatsApp node. How to use Once you've setup and configured your WhatsApp account and credentials First, populate the vector store by clicking the "Test Workflow" button. Next, activate the workflow to enable the WhatsApp chatbot. Message your designated WhatsApp number and you should receive a message from the AI sales agent. Tweak datasource and behaviour as required. Requirements WhatsApp Business Account OpenAI for LLM Customising this workflow Upgrade the vector store to Qdrant for persistance and production use-cases. Handle different WhatsApp message types for a more rich and engaging experience for customers.

Telegram AI Chatbot

The workflow starts by listening for messages from Telegram users. The message is then processed, and based on its content, different actions are taken. If it's a regular chat message, the workflow generates a response using the OpenAI API and sends it back to the user. If it's a command to create an image, the workflow generates an image using the OpenAI API and sends the image to the user. If the command is unsupported, an error message is sent. Throughout the workflow, there are additional nodes for displaying notes and simulating typing actions.

Ask questions about a PDF using AI

The workflow first populates a Pinecone index with vectors from a Bitcoin whitepaper. Then, it waits for a manual chat message. When received, the chat message is turned into a vector and compared to the vectors in Pinecone. The most similar vectors are retrieved and passed to OpenAI for generating a chat response. Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.
