This workflow demonstrates how to automate live information gathering, fact-checking, and trend analysis in response to any chat message - using a powerful AI agent, memory, and a real-time search tool.

Use cases are many: This is perfect for researchers needing instant, up-to-date data; support teams providing live, accurate answers; content creators looking to verify facts or find hot topics; and analysts automating regular reports with the freshest information.

How It Works

  • The workflow is triggered whenever a chat message is received (e.g., a user question, research prompt, or data request).
  • The message is sent to the AI Agent, which follows the following steps:
    • First, it queries SerpAPI – Research to gather the latest real-time information and data from the web.
    • Next, it checks the Window Buffer Memory for any related past interactions or contextual information that may be useful.
    • Finally, it sends all collected data and context to the Google Gemini Chat Model, which analyzes the information and generates a comprehensive, intelligent response.
  • Then, the AI Agent delivers the analyzed, up-to-date answer directly in the chat, combining live data, context, and expert analysis.

How To Set Up

  • Download and import the workflow into your n8n workspace.
  • Set up API credentials and tool access for the AI Agent:
    • Google Gemini (for chat-based intelligence) → connected to Node Google Gemini Chat Model.
    • SerpAPI (for real-time web and search results) → connected to Node SerpAPI - Research.
    • Window Buffer Memory (for richer, context-aware conversations) → connected to Node Window Buffer Memory.
  • Open the chat in n8n and type the topic or trend you want to research.
  • Send the message and wait for the process to complete.
  • Receive the AI-powered research reply in the chat box.

Requirements

  • An n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud).
  • SerpAPI credentials for live web search and data gathering.
  • Window Buffer Memory configured to provide relevant conversation context in history.
  • Google Gemini API access to analyze collected data and generate responses.

How To Customize

  • Choose your preferred AI model: Replace Google Gemini with OpenAI ChatGPT, or any other chat model as preferred.
  • Add or change memory: Replace Window Buffer Memory with more advanced memory options for deeper recall.
  • Connect your preferred chat platform: Easily swap out the default chat integration for Telegram, Slack, or any other compatible messaging platform to trigger and interact with the workflow.
