Template description
This n8n template introduces the Dynamic Prompts AI workflow pattern which are incredible for certain types of data extraction tasks where attributes are unknown or need to remain flexible.
The general idea behind this pattern is that the prompts for requested attributes to be extracted live outside the template and so can be changed at any time - without needing to edit the template. This seriously cuts down on maintainance requirements and is reusable for any number of tables at little cost.

Looking for the Airtable Version? https://n8n.io/workflows/2771-ai-data-extraction-with-dynamic-prompts-and-airtable/
How it works
- Given we have an "input" field for context and a number of fields for the data we want to extract, this template will run in the background to react to any changes to either the "input" or fields and automatically update the rows accordingly.
- The key is that Baserow fields have a special property called the "field description". In this pattern, we use this property to allow the user to store a simple prompt describing the data that should exist in the column.
- Our n8n template reads these column descriptions aka "prompts" to use as instructions to perform tasks on the "input".
- In this template, the "input" is a PDF of a resume/CV and the columns are attributes a HR person would want to extract from it - such as full name, address, last position, years of experience etc.
How to use
- First publish this template and ensure it's accessible via webhook URL.
- You then have to complete the "create Baserow webhooks" steps to configure your baserow to send change events to the n8n template. Baserow webhooks are created in the Baserow web interface.
Check the template for more instructions.
Requirements
- Baserow for Tables/Database
- OpenAI for LLM and extraction. Feel free to choose another LLM if preferred.
Customising this workflow
- If you're not using files, you can replace the "input" field with anything you like. For example, the "input" could be single line text.

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.

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.

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.

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.
