3 AI workflows
1. RAG pipeline & chatbot
tools
- pinecone
- vector database
- google drive
- data storage
- google docs
- open router
- lets us connect to ai models like openai's or anthropics
2. Customer support
purpose
- build off prev workflow with pinecone db
- respond to customer support related emails
tools
- pinecone
- gmail
- n8n agent
- open router
3. LinkedIn Content Creation
tools
- tavily
- search the web
- google sheets
- store content ideas, and write content ideas to it
Workflow 1) - Rag Pipeline and Chatbot
- credentials
- link
RAG
- stands for
- retrieval, augmented, generation
- ?
- looks inside database for the answer
Vector Database
- multidimensional graph of points
-
vector is placed based on meaning of vector
- ie, wolf and dog will be close
- banana, apple will be close
how it works
- we have a document
- break it into chunks
-
run it through an 'embeddings model'
- this puts the chunks into a vector model
Query
- run the query through the embeddings model
- see where it lands in vectors, grabs back the nearest 4 or 5 vectors and returns it to us
process
- our trigger is any changes in folder on google drive
set up google drive trigger
- create OAuth Credentials n8n documentation for creating OAuth credentials
-
in Client, make sure to add the OAuth Redirect URL found in the trigger set up to Clients->Authorized Redirect URIs
get the OAuth redirect from the n8n google drive trigger settings
put the redirect url in google client settings -
get client id and secret id, and enter into the trigger
-
add the google drive api
-
APIs
-
go to google api dashboard and enable the following apis
- google drive api
- google drive activity api
-
-
API scopes
- go to google api dashboard
- from the left hand menu, select OAuth consent screen
- from the left hand menu, select Data Access
-
at the top of the page click the "Add or remove scopes" button
-
search through it until you find
- /auth/drive.readonly
- /auth/drive.appdata
-
-
Sign in and grant the user permission for the following
- See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files
- See, create, and delete its own configuration data in your Google Drive
-
if you have to reconnect from scratch, go to
- https://myaccount.google.com/connections/overview/
- select the app you are connected to and delete all connections
- sign in again
-
if all goes well
- set folder
- save and exit the config dialog
- go to google drive trigger, and select the folder
-
set up google drive download file
current files:
setup
- in order to put documents into our Pinecone vector database we need to check for a newly created file, download it, and then send it
- so we must create an initial file, from which we will get the necessary id that we will always look for in all new files, and then tell this tool to download it
-
create a file
- first create a new faq file in the folder
- fetch it from google trigger
- find where the name of the file is in the schema, you will be getting the id field next to it
- now add google drive - download file
-
look for where name was in the fetch, drag the id link to the file field
drag the id to the file field
pinecone
set up pinecone
- got to http://pinecone.io
-
create an index
- give it a name
-
choose a text embedding model
- in this case it is 'text-embedding-3-small'
-
set the embeddings to 1536
set the embedddings - hit 'create index'
- go to API keys and create a key
add pinecone node
- search for pinecode vector store
-
choose 'add documents to a vector store'
- add the api key
-
after you save it go to settings pinecone index and choose the index you created
set pinecone index in the node
-
add option 'pinecone namespace'
add option 'pincone namesapce'
-
decide on a namespace and give it
- pinecone can just use the default location for all data
- namespaces allow you to organize data in pinecode
- at this point you need an embeddings model and a document loader
embeddings model
- add embeddings open ai
document loader
- add default data loader
- choose binary as the data type
- add a recursive character test splitter
run pinecone node by clicking play
add a second workflow to access the information
- we are going to use open router to choose any LLM
add an agent to process
- create an agent with a chat trigger
- source for prompt is the chat trigger node
-
to make the response sound correct
-
add a system message
- in the agent node click 'OPTIONS'
- select "System Message"
-
add the following text:
You are the official support assistant for Samurai Cat. Answer questions using ONLY the retrieved policy text. Respond in first person (“we”, “our”), never in third person. Do not analyze tone. Do not describe the document. Do not say “the document states” or “they say”. If the information is not found in the knowledge base, say you don’t have that information. Keep responses clear, concise, and professional.
-
open router
-
add an openrouter node
-
add the key you create on there
-
add pinecone tool
-
add pinecone as a tool
- NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU USE THE TOOL CONNECTOR!!
-
set the embedddings
- hit the tool extension and pick pinecone vector store
- add an embedding node (open ai embedding) so the pinecone node can convert the question text to a vector that it will then process to retrieve the associated vector for that text
Workflow 2) Customer Support
add gmail trigger
- on message received
- based on OAuth
set up OAuth Gmail API
- go to google cloud console
-
go to google api dashboard
- select project herk-build8h-e01-ragchat
- in Audience enter a test user email account that you have control over https://console.cloud.google.com/auth/audience
-
enable gmail api
-
in the api search bar look for 'gmail'
file:../../_share/media/img/compsci/ai/herk/build_8hr/ch03_e02a.png
-
select gmail api
file:../../_share/media/img/compsci/ai/herk/build_8hr/ch03_e02b.png
-
click 'enable'
file:../../_share/media/img/compsci/ai/herk/build_8hr/ch03_e02c.png
-
-
go to the OAuth credentials and copy the client ID
- enter both client ID and secret
test the email trigger
- when that's done you will be shown a button that will allow you to link into an email account, use the test email you set up earlier
- turn off the simplify button in the settings for the trigger because it cuts off the message
file:../../_share/media/img/compsci/ai/herk/build_8hr/ch03_e02d.png
-
for testing purposes click the pin on the data
-
this keeps the same data there every time you hit the trigger
file:../../_share/media/img/compsci/ai/herk/build_8hr/ch03_e02e.png
file:../../_share/media/img/compsci/ai/herk/build_8hr/ch03_e02f.png
-
text classifier
- will enable us to determine what type of email we have received
- to set it up connect a chat model (openrouter)
-
now open up the settings for text classifier and add text variable to 'text to classifiy'
file:../../_share/media/img/compsci/ai/herk/build_8hr/ch03_e02g.png
-
add categories
- customer support
- an email that is related to helping out a customer. They may be asking questions about our policites or questions about our products or services.
- other
- any email that is not customer support related
- once you add categories, branches coming out of the node will represent each category
add an ai agent
- to the category for customer support add an ai agent
- set "source for prompt" to "define below"
- drag the text variable into the Prompt(User Message) field
- under "OPtions", hit "add option" and choose "System Message"
system message

- Use appropriate emojis to enhance engagement 💥🚗🔧📺💀.
