Build your first AI agent
How it works This template launches your very first AI Agent —an AI-powered chatbot that can do more than just talk— it can take action using tools. Think of an AI Agent as a smart assistant, and the tools are the apps on its phone. By connecting it to other nodes, you give your agent the ability to interact with real-world data and services, like checking the weather, fetching news, or even sending emails on your behalf. This workflow is designed to be the perfect starting point: The Chat Interface: A Chat Trigger node provides a simple, clean interface for you to talk to your agent. The Brains: The AI Agent node receives your messages, intelligently decides which tool to use (if any), and formulates a helpful response. Its personality and instructions are fully customizable in the "System Message". The Language Model: It uses Google Gemini to power its reasoning and conversation skills. The Tools: It comes pre-equipped with two tools to demonstrate its capabilities: Get Weather: Fetches real-time weather forecasts. Get News: Reads any RSS feed to get the latest headlines. The Memory: A Conversation Memory node allows the agent to remember the last few messages, enabling natural, follow-up conversations. Set up steps Setup time: ~2 minutes You only need one thing to get started: a free Google AI API key. Get Your Google AI API Key: Visit Google AI Studio at aistudio.google.com/app/apikey. Click "Create API key in new project" and copy the key that appears. Add Your Credential in n8n: On the workflow canvas, go to the Connect your model (Google Gemini) node. Click the Credential dropdown and select + Create New Credential. Paste your API key into the API Key field and click Save. Start Chatting! Go to the Example Chat node. Click the "Open Chat" button in its parameter panel. Try asking it one of the example questions, like: "What's the weather in Paris?" or "Get me the latest tech news."* That's it! You now have a fully functional AI Agent. Try adding more tools (like Gmail or Google Calendar) to make it even more powerful.
By Lucas PeyrinBuilding 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.

By Dr. FirasAI 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 recuce 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.
By EduardAngie, personal AI assistant with Telegram voice and text
How it works: This project creates a personal AI assistant named Angie that operates through Telegram. Angie can summarize daily emails, look up calendar entries, remind users of upcoming tasks, and retrieve contact information. The assistant can interact with users via both voice and text inputs. Step-by-step: Telegram Trigger: The workflow starts with a Telegram trigger that listens for incoming message events. The system determines if the incoming message is voice or text. If voice, the voice file is retrieved and transcribed to text using OpenAI's API Speech to Text AI Assistant: The telegram request is passed to the AI assistant (Angie). Tools Integration: The AI assistant is equipped with several tools: Get Email: Uses Gmail API to fetch recent emails, filtering by date. Get Calendar: Retrieves calendar entries for specified dates. Get Tasks: Connects to a Baserow (open-source Airtable alternative) database to fetch to-do list items. Get Contacts: Also uses Baserow to retrieve contact information. Response Generation: The AI formulates a response based on the gathered information and sends back to the user on Telegram
By Derek CheungRAG chatbot for company documents using Google Drive and Gemini
This workflow implements a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot that answers employee questions based on company documents stored in Google Drive. It automatically indexes new or updated documents in a Pinecone vector database, allowing the chatbot to provide accurate and up-to-date information. The workflow uses Google's Gemini AI for both embeddings and response generation. How it works The workflow uses two Google Drive Trigger nodes: one for detecting new files added to a specified Google Drive folder, and another for detecting file updates in that same folder. Automated Indexing: When a new or updated document is detected The Google Drive node downloads the file. The Default Data Loader node loads the document content. The Recursive Character Text Splitter node breaks the document into smaller text chunks. The Embeddings Google Gemini node generates embeddings for each text chunk using the text-embedding-004 model. The Pinecone Vector Store node indexes the text chunks and their embeddings in a specified Pinecone index. 7.The Chat Trigger node receives user questions through a chat interface. The user's question is passed to an AI Agent node. The AI Agent node uses a Vector Store Tool node, linked to a Pinecone Vector Store node in query mode, to retrieve relevant text chunks from Pinecone based on the user's question. The AI Agent sends the retrieved information and the user's question to the Google Gemini Chat Model (gemini-pro). The Google Gemini Chat Model generates a comprehensive and informative answer based on the retrieved documents. A Window Buffer Memory node connected to the AI Agent provides short-term memory, allowing for more natural and context-aware conversations. Set up steps Google Cloud Project and Vertex AI API: Create a Google Cloud project. Enable the Vertex AI API for your project. Google AI API Key: Obtain a Google AI API key from Google AI Studio. Pinecone Account: Create a free account on the Pinecone website. Obtain your API key from your Pinecone dashboard. Create an index named company-files in your Pinecone project. Google Drive: Create a dedicated folder in your Google Drive where company documents will be stored. Credentials in n8n: Configure credentials in your n8n environment for: Google Drive OAuth2 Google Gemini(PaLM) Api (using your Google AI API key) Pinecone API (using your Pinecone API key) Import the Workflow: Import this workflow into your n8n instance. Configure the Workflow: Update both Google Drive Trigger nodes to watch the specific folder you created in your Google Drive. Configure the Pinecone Vector Store nodes to use your company-files index.
By Mihai FarcasPulling data from services that n8n doesn’t have a pre-built integration for
You still can use the app in a workflow even if we don’t have a node for that or the existing operation for that. With the HTTP Request node, it is possible to call any API point and use the incoming data in your workflow Main use cases: Connect with apps and services that n8n doesn’t have integration with Web scraping How it works This workflow can be divided into three branches, each serving a distinct purpose: 1.Splitting into Items (HTTP Request - Get Mock Albums): The workflow initiates with a manual trigger (On clicking 'execute'). It performs an HTTP request to retrieve mock albums data from "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums." The obtained data is split into items using the Item Lists node, facilitating easier management. 2.Data Scraping (HTTP Request - Get Wikipedia Page and HTML Extract): Another branch of the workflow involves fetching a random Wikipedia page using an HTTP request to "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random." The HTML Extract node extracts the article title from the fetched Wikipedia page. 3.Handling Pagination (The final branch deals with handling pagination for a GitHub API request): It sends an HTTP request to "https://api.github.com/users/that-one-tom/starred," with parameters like the page number and items per page dynamically set by the Set node. The workflow uses conditions (If - Are we finished?) to check if there are more pages to retrieve and increments the page number accordingly (Set - Increment Page). This process repeats until all pages are fetched, allowing for comprehensive data retrieval.
By JonathanTelegram 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.
By EduardChat with a database using AI
This workflow allows you to ask questions about data stored in a database using AI. To use it, you'll need an OpenAI API key (although you could also swap in a model from another service). Supported databases: Postgres MySQL SQLite The workflow uses n8n's embedded chat, but you could also modify it to work with a chat service such as Slack, MS Teams or WhatsApp. Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.
