How it works

User Signup & Verification:
The workflow starts when a user signs up. It generates a verification code and sends it via SMS using Twilio.
Code Validation:
The user replies with the code. The workflow checks the code and, if valid, creates a session for the user.
Conversational AI:
Incoming SMS messages are analyzed by Chat GPT AI for sentiment, intent, and urgency. The workflow stores the conversation context and generates smart, AI-powered replies.
Escalation Handling:
If the AI detects urgency or frustration, the workflow escalates the session—alerting your team and sending a supportive SMS to the user.

Set up steps

Estimated setup time: 10–20 minutes for most users.
What you’ll need:
- A free n8n account (self-hosted or cloud)
- Free Twilio account (for SMS)
- OpenAI API key (for AI)
- A PostgreSQL database (Supabase, Neon, or local)
Setup process:
1. Import this workflow into n8n.
2. Add your Twilio and OpenAI credentials as environment variables or n8n credentials.
3. Update webhook URLs in your Twilio console (for incoming SMS).
4. (Optional) Adjust sticky notes in the workflow for detailed, step-by-step guidance.

Build a website-powered customer support chatbot with Decodo, Pinecone and Gemini

**Categories:** Business Automation, Customer Support, AI, Knowledge Management This comprehensive workflow enables businesses to build and deploy a custom-trained AI Chatbot in minutes. By combining a sophisticated data scraping engine with a RAG-based (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) chat interface, it allows you to transform website content into a high-performance support agent. Powered by **Google Gemini** and **Pinecone**, this system ensures your chatbot provides accurate, real-time answers based exclusively on your business data. ### **Benefits** * **Instant Knowledge Sync** - Automatically crawls sitemaps and URLs to keep your AI up-to-date with your latest website content. * **Embeddable Anywhere** - Features a ready-to-use chat trigger that can be integrated into the bottom-right of any website via a simple script. * **High-Fidelity Retrieval** - Uses vector embeddings to ensure the AI "searches" your documentation before answering, reducing hallucinations. * **Smart Conversational Memory** - Equipped with a 10-message window buffer, allowing the bot to handle complex follow-up questions naturally. * **Cost-Efficient Scaling** - Leverages Gemini’s efficient API and Pinecone’s high-speed indexing to manage thousands of customer queries at a low cost. ### **How It Works** 1. **Dual-Path Ingestion:** The process begins with an n8n Form where you provide a sitemap or individual URLs. The workflow automatically handles XML parsing and URL cleaning to prepare a list of pages for processing. 2. **Clean Content Extraction:** Using **Decodo**, the workflow fetches the HTML of each page and uses a specialized extraction node to strip away code, ads, and navigation, leaving only the high-value text content. **SignUp using:** [dashboard.decodo.com/register?referral_code=55543bbdb96ffd8cf45c2605147641ee017e7900](dashboard.decodo.com/register?referral_code=55543bbdb96ffd8cf45c2605147641ee017e7900). 3. **Vectorization & Storage:** The cleaned text is passed to the **Gemini Embedding** model, which converts the information into 3076-dimensional vectors. These are stored in a **Pinecone** "supportbot" index for instant retrieval. 4. **RAG-Powered Chat Agent:** When a user sends a message through the chat widget, an **AI Agent** takes over. It uses the user's query to search the Pinecone database for relevant business facts. 5. **Intelligent Response Generation:** The AI Agent passes the retrieved facts and the current chat history to **Google Gemini**, which generates a polite, accurate, and contextually relevant response for the user. ### **Requirements** * **n8n Instance:** A self-hosted or cloud instance of n8n. * **Google Gemini API Key:** For text embeddings and chat generation. * **Pinecone Account:** An API key and a "supportbot" index to store your knowledge base. * **Decodo Access:** For high-quality website content extraction. ### **How to Use** 1. **Initialize the Knowledge Base:** Use the Form Trigger to input your website URL or Sitemap. Run the ingestion flow to populate your Pinecone index. 2. **Configure Credentials:** Authenticate your Google Gemini and Pinecone accounts within n8n. 3. **Deploy the Chatbot:** Enable the Chat Trigger node. Use the provided webhook URL to connect the backend to your website's frontend chat widget. 4. **Test & Refine:** Interact with the bot to ensure it retrieves the correct data, and update your knowledge base by re-running the ingestion flow whenever your website content changes. ### **Business Use Cases** * **Customer Support Teams** - Automate answers to 80% of common FAQs using your existing documentation. * **E-commerce Sites** - Help customers find product details, shipping policies, and return information instantly. * **SaaS Providers** - Build an interactive technical documentation assistant to help users navigate your software. * **Marketing Agencies** - Offer "AI-powered site search" as an add-on service for client websites. ### **Efficiency Gains** * **Reduce Ticket Volume** by providing instant self-service options. * **Eliminate Manual Data Entry** by scraping content directly from the live website. * **Improve UX** with 24/7 availability and zero wait times for customers. **Difficulty Level:** Intermediate **Estimated Setup Time:** 30 min **Monthly Operating Cost:** Low (variable based on AI usage and Pinecone tier)

Create an all-in-one Discord assistant with Gemini, Llama Vision & Flux images

This n8n template demonstrates how to build **O'Carla**, an advanced all-in-one Discord AI assistant. It intelligently handles natural conversations, professional image generation, and visual file analysis within a single server integration. Use cases are many: Deploy a smart community manager that remembers past interactions, an on-demand artistic tool for your members, or an AI that can "read" and explain uploaded documents and images! ## Good to know * **API Costs:** Each interaction costs vary depending on the model used (Gemini vs. OpenRouter). Check your provider's dashboard for updated pricing. * **Infrastructure:** This workflow requires a separate Discord bot script (e.g., Node.js) to forward events to the n8n Webhook. It is recommended to host the bot using **PM2** for 24/7 uptime. ## How it works 1. **Webhook Trigger:** Receives incoming data (text and attachments) from your Discord bot. 2. **Intent Routing:** The workflow uses conditional logic to detect if the user wants an image (via keyword `gambar:`), a vision analysis (via attachments), or a standard chat. 3. **Multi-Model Intelligence:** * **Gemini 2.5:** Powers rapid and high-quality general chat reasoning. * **Llama 3.2 Vision (via OpenRouter):** Specifically used to describe and analyze images or text-based files. * **Flux (via Pollinations):** Uses a specialized AI Agent to refine prompts and generate professional-grade images. 4. **Contextual Memory:** A 50-message buffer window ensures O'Carla maintains the context of your conversation based on your Discord User ID. 5. **Clean UI Output:** Generated image links are automatically shortened via **TinyURL** to keep the Discord chat interface tidy. ## How to use 1. Connect your **Google Gemini** and **OpenRouter** API keys in the respective nodes. 2. Replace the Webhook URL in your bot script with this workflow's **Production Webhook URL**. 3. Type `gambar: [your prompt]` in Discord to generate images. 4. Upload an image or file to Discord to trigger the AI Vision analysis. ## Requirements * n8n instance (Self-hosted or Cloud). * Google Gemini API Key. * OpenRouter API Key. * Discord Bot Token and hosting environment. ## Customising this workflow O'Carla is highly flexible. You can change her personality by modifying the **System Message** in the Agent nodes, adjust the memory window length, or swap the LLM models to specialized ones like Claude 3.5 or GPT-4o.

AI chatbot for Max Messenger with voice recognition (GigaChat +SaluteSpeech)

**Name:** AI Chatbot for Max Messenger with Voice Recognition (GigaChat + Sber) **Description:** ### How it works This workflow powers an intelligent, conversational AI bot for Max messenger that can understand and respond to both **text and voice messages**. The bot uses GigaChat AI with built-in memory, allowing it to remember the conversation history for each unique user and answer follow-up questions. Voice messages are transcribed using Sber SmartSpeech. It's a complete solution for creating an engaging, automated assistant within your Max bot, using Russian AI services. ### Step-by-step * **Max Trigger:** The workflow starts when the **Max Trigger** node receives a new message sent to your Max bot. * **Access Control:** The **Check User** node verifies the sender's user ID against an allowed list. This prevents unauthorized users from accessing your bot. * **Access Denied Response:** If the user is not authorized, the **Access Denied** node sends a polite rejection message. * **Message Type Routing:** The **Text/Attachment** (Switch) node checks if the message contains plain text or has attachments (voice, photo, file). * **Attachment Processing:** If an attachment is detected, the **Download Attachment** (HTTP Request) node retrieves it, and the **Attachment Router** (Switch) node determines its type (voice, photo, or file). * **Voice Transcription:** For voice messages, the workflow gets a Sber access token via **Get Access Token** (HTTP Request), merges it with the audio file, and sends it to **Get Response** (HTTP Request) which uses Sber SmartSpeech API to transcribe the audio to text. * **Input Unification:** The **Voice to Prompt** node converts transcribed text into a prompt, while **Text to Prompt** does the same for plain text messages. Both paths merge at the **Combine** node. * **AI Agent Processing:** The unified prompt is passed to the **AI Agent**, powered by **GigaChat Model** and using **Simple Memory** to retain the last 10 messages per user (using Max `user_id` as the session key). * **Response Delivery:** The AI-generated response is sent back to the user via the **Send Message** node. ### Set up steps Estimated set up time: 15 minutes 1. **Get Max bot credentials:** Visit https://business.max.ru/ to create a bot and obtain API credentials. Add these credentials to **Max Trigger**, **Send Message**, and **Access Denied** nodes. 2. **Add GigaChat credentials:** Register for GigaChat API access and add your credentials to the **GigaChat Model** node. 3. **Add Sber credentials:** Obtain Sber SmartSpeech API credentials and add them to **Get Access Token** and **Get Response** nodes (HTTP Header Auth). 4. **Configure access control:** Open the **Check User** node and change the `user_id` value (currently 50488534) to your own Max user ID. This ensures only you can use the bot during testing. 5. **Customize bot personality:** Open the **AI Agent** node and edit the system message to change the bot's name, behavior, and add your own contact information or links. 6. **Test the bot:** Activate the workflow and send a text or voice message to your Max bot to verify it responds correctly. ### Notes This workflow is specifically designed for Russian-speaking users and uses Russian AI services (GigaChat and Sber SmartSpeech) as alternatives to OpenAI. Make sure you have valid API access to both services before setting up this workflow.
