This n8n workflow template lets teams easily generate a custom AI chat assistant based on the schema of any Notion database. Simply provide the Notion database URL, and the workflow downloads the schema and creates a tailored AI assistant designed to interact with that specific database structure. Set Up Watch this quick set up video 👇 Key Features Instant Assistant Generation**: Enter a Notion database URL, and the workflow produces an AI assistant configured to the database schema. Advanced Querying**: The assistant performs flexible queries, filtering records by multiple fields (e.g., tags, names). It can also search inside Notion pages to pull relevant content from specific blocks. Schema Awareness**: Understands and interacts with various Notion column types like text, dates, and tags for accurate responses. Reference Links**: Each query returns direct links to the exact Notion pages that inform the assistant’s response, promoting transparency and easy access. Self-Validation**: The workflow has logic to check the generated assistant, and if any errors are detected, it reruns the agent to fix them. Ideal for Product Managers**: Easily access and query product data across Notion databases. Support Teams**: Quickly search through knowledge bases for precise information to enhance support accuracy. Operations Teams**: Streamline access to HR, finance, or logistics data for fast, efficient retrieval. Data Teams**: Automate large dataset queries across multiple properties and records. How It Works This AI assistant leverages two HTTP request tools—one for querying the Notion database and another for retrieving data within individual pages. It’s powered by the Anthropic LLM (or can be swapped for GPT-4) and always provides reference links for added transparency.

This n8n workflow demonstrates how you can summarise and automate post-meeting actions from video transcripts fed into an AI Agent. Save time between meetings by allowing AI handle the chores of organising follow-up meetings and invites. How it works This workflow scans for the calendar for client or team meetings which were held online. * Attempts will be made to fetch any recorded transcripts which are then sent to the AI agent. The AI agent summarises and identifies if any follow-on meetings are required. If found, the Agent will use its Calendar Tool to to create the event for the time, date and place for the next meeting as well as add known attendees. Requirements Google Calendar and the ability to fetch Meeting Transcripts (There is a special OAuth permission for this action!) OpenAI account for access to the LLM. Customising the workflow This example only books follow-on meetings but could be extended to generate reports or send emails.

An intelligent chatbot that assists employees by answering common HR or IT questions, supporting both text and audio messages. This unique feature ensures employees can conveniently ask questions via voice messages, which are transcribed and processed just like text queries. How It Works Message Capture: When an employee sends a message to the chatbot in WhatsApp or Telegram (text or audio), the chatbot captures the input. Audio Transcription: For audio messages, the chatbot transcribes the content into text using an AI-powered transcription service (e.g., Whisper, Google Cloud Speech-to-Text). Query Processing: The transcribed text (or directly entered text) is sent to an AI service (e.g., OpenAI) to generate embeddings. These embeddings are used to search a vector database (e.g., Supabase or Qdrant) containing the company’s internal HR and IT documentation. The most relevant data is retrieved and sent back to the AI service to compose a concise and helpful response. Response Delivery: The chatbot sends the final response back to the employee, whether the input was text or audio. Set Up Steps Estimated Time**: 20–25 minutes Prerequisites**: Create an account with an AI provider (e.g., OpenAI). Connect WhatsApp or Telegram credentials in n8n. Set up a transcription service (e.g., Whisper or Google Cloud Speech-to-Text). Configure a vector database (e.g., Supabase or Qdrant) and add your internal HR and IT documentation. Import the workflow template into n8n and update environment variables for your credentials.

This n8n workflow demonstrates how we can use Multimodal LLMs to parse and extract from PDF documents in n8n. In this particular scenario, we're passing a candidate's CV/resume to an AI which filters out unqualified applications. However, this sneaky candidate has added in hidden prompt to bypass our bot! Whatever will we do? No fret, using AI Vision is one approach to solve this problem... read on! How it works Our candidate's CV/Resume is a PDF downloaded via Google Drive for this demonstration. The PDF is then converted into an image PNG using a tool called Stirling PDF. Since the hidden prompt has a white font color, it is is invisible in the converted image. The image is then forwarded to a Basic LLM node to process using our multimodal model - in this example, we'll use Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro. In the Basic LLM node, we'll need to set a User Message with the type of Binary. This allows us to directly send the image file in our request. The LLM is now immune to the hidden prompt and its response is has expected. The example CV/Resume with hidden prompt can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MORAdeev6cMcTJBV2EYALAwll8gCDRav/view?usp=sharing Requirements Google Gemini API Key. Alternatively, GPT4 will also work for this use-case. Stirling PDF or another service which can convert PDFs into images. Note for data privacy, this example uses a public API and it is recommended that you self-host and use a private instance of Stirling PDF instead. Customising the workflow Swap out the manual trigger for another trigger such as a webhook to integrate into your existing services. This example demonstrates a validation use-case ie. "does the candidate look qualified?". You can try additionally extracting data points instead such as years of experiences, previous companies etc.

⚙️🛠️🚀🤖🦾 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.

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.

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.

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.
