Ultimate AI-Powered Chatbot for YouTube Summarization and Analysis

This n8n workflow creates a sophisticated AI chatbot designed to interactively summarize and analyze YouTube video content. It leverages LangChain agents and tools to process user queries, fetch YouTube transcripts, and generate intelligent responses.

What it does

This workflow acts as a backend service for an AI chatbot, enabling it to:

  1. Receive Chat Messages: It starts by listening for incoming chat messages, likely from a front-end application or another n8n workflow.
  2. Initialize AI Agent: An AI agent is initialized with a conversational memory and an OpenAI chat model.
  3. Define AI Tool: A custom tool, "Call n8n Workflow Tool," is defined. This tool is crucial for the agent to interact with other n8n workflows, specifically for fetching YouTube video transcripts.
  4. Process User Input: The AI agent processes the incoming chat message, utilizing its memory and the defined tool to understand the user's intent.
  5. Execute Tool (if needed): If the user's query requires YouTube video summarization or analysis, the AI agent will invoke the "Call n8n Workflow Tool" to trigger another n8n workflow responsible for fetching the YouTube transcript.
  6. Fetch YouTube Transcript: An HTTP Request node is used to call an external API (likely a custom n8n workflow or service) to retrieve the transcript of a specified YouTube video.
  7. Prepare Transcript Data: The fetched transcript data is processed, potentially split into manageable chunks, and then aggregated.
  8. Summarize Transcript: The aggregated transcript data is summarized, likely using another AI model or a dedicated summarization node.
  9. Generate AI Response: The AI agent uses the summarized information (or direct responses if no tool was needed) to generate a relevant and intelligent reply to the user.
  10. Return AI Response: The final AI-generated response is returned to the original chat trigger, completing the conversation cycle.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
  • OpenAI API Key: Configured as a credential in n8n for the OpenAI Chat Model.
  • External YouTube Transcript API/Workflow: This workflow relies on an external API or another n8n workflow (triggered by the "Call n8n Workflow Tool") to fetch YouTube video transcripts. You will need to set up and configure this external service.
  • Chat Platform Integration: A chat platform (e.g., Slack, Telegram, custom web application) that can send messages to the "Chat Trigger" webhook and receive responses.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Set up your OpenAI API Key credential for the "OpenAI Chat Model" node.
  3. Configure "Call n8n Workflow Tool":
    • Edit the "Call n8n Workflow Tool" node. You will need to specify the URL and potentially the workflow ID of the n8n workflow that handles fetching YouTube transcripts. This sub-workflow should be designed to accept a YouTube video URL as input and return its transcript.
  4. Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow.
  5. Integrate with Chat Platform: Connect your desired chat platform to the "When chat message received" trigger. This typically involves configuring a webhook URL provided by the n8n trigger in your chat platform's settings.
  6. Start Chatting: Send a message to your chatbot asking it to summarize a YouTube video (e.g., "Summarize this YouTube video: [YouTube URL]"). The AI agent will then process your request, fetch the transcript, summarize it, and respond.

πŸŽ“ How to transform unstructured email data into structured format with AI agent

This workflow automates the process of extracting structured, usable information from unstructured email messages across multiple platforms. It connects directly to Gmail, Outlook, and IMAP accounts, retrieves incoming emails, and sends their content to an AI-powered parsing agent built on OpenAI GPT models. The AI agent analyzes each email, identifies relevant details, and returns a clean JSON structure containing key fields: From – sender’s email address To – recipient’s email address Subject – email subject line Summary – short AI-generated summary of the email body The extracted information is then automatically inserted into an n8n Data Table, creating a structured database of email metadata and summaries ready for indexing, reporting, or integration with other tools. --- Key Benefits βœ… Full Automation: Eliminates manual reading and data entry from incoming emails. βœ… Multi-Source Integration: Handles data from different email providers seamlessly. βœ… AI-Driven Accuracy: Uses advanced language models to interpret complex or unformatted content. βœ… Structured Storage: Creates a standardized, query-ready dataset from previously unstructured text. βœ… Time Efficiency: Processes emails in real time, improving productivity and response speed. *βœ… Scalability: Easily extendable to handle additional sources or extract more data fields. --- How it works This workflow automates the transformation of unstructured email data into a structured, queryable format. It operates through a series of connected steps: Email Triggering: The workflow is initiated by one of three different email triggers (Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, or a generic IMAP account), which constantly monitor for new incoming emails. AI-Powered Parsing & Structuring: When a new email is detected, its raw, unstructured content is passed to a central "Parsing Agent." This agent uses a specified OpenAI language model to intelligently analyze the email text. Data Extraction & Standardization: Following a predefined system prompt, the AI agent extracts key information from the email, such as the sender, recipient, subject, and a generated summary. It then forces the output into a strict JSON structure using a "Structured Output Parser" node, ensuring data consistency. Data Storage: Finally, the clean, structured data (the from, to, subject, and summarize fields) is inserted as a new row into a specified n8n Data Table, creating a searchable and reportable database of email information. --- Set up steps To implement this workflow, follow these configuration steps: Prepare the Data Table: Create a new Data Table within n8n. Define the columns with the following names and string type: From, To, Subject, and Summary. Configure Email Credentials: Set up the credential connections for the email services you wish to use (Gmail OAuth2, Microsoft Outlook OAuth2, and/or IMAP). Ensure the accounts have the necessary permissions to read emails. Configure AI Model Credentials: Set up the OpenAI API credential with a valid API key. The workflow is configured to use the model, but this can be changed in the respective nodes if needed. Connect the Nodes: The workflow canvas is already correctly wired. Visually confirm that the email triggers are connected to the "Parsing Agent," which is connected to the "Insert row" (Data Table) node. Also, ensure the "OpenAI Chat Model" and "Structured Output Parser" are connected to the "Parsing Agent" as its AI model and output parser, respectively. Activate the Workflow: Save the workflow and toggle the "Active" switch to ON. The triggers will begin polling for new emails according to their schedule (e.g., every minute), and the automation will start processing incoming messages. --- Need help customizing?
