Scale deal flow with a Pitch Deck AI vision, chatbot and QDrant vector store

Are you a popular tech startup accelerator (named after a particular higher order function) overwhelmed with 1000s of pitch decks on a daily basis? Wish you could filter through them quickly using AI but the decks are unparseable through conventional means? Then you're in luck!

This n8n template uses Multimodal LLMs to parse and extract valuable data from even the most overly designed pitch decks in quick fashion. Not only that, it'll also create the foundations of a RAG chatbot at the end so you or your colleagues can drill down into the details if needed. With this template, you'll scale your capacity to find interesting companies you'd otherwise miss!

Requires n8n v1.62.1+

How It Works

  • Airtable is used as the pitch deck database and PDF decks are downloaded from it.
  • An AI Vision model is used to transcribe each page of the pitch deck into markdown.
  • An Information Extractor is used to generate a report from the transcribed markdown and update required information back into pitch deck database.
  • The transcribed markdown is also uploaded to a vector store to build an AI chatbot which can be used to ask questions on the pitch deck.

Check out the sample Airtable here: https://airtable.com/appCkqc2jc3MoVqDO/shrS21vGqlnqzzNUc

How To Use

  • This template depends on the availability of the Airtable - make a duplicate of the airtable (link) and its columns before running the workflow.
  • When a new pitchdeck is received, enter the company name into the Name column and upload the pdf into the File column. Leave all other columns blank.
  • If you have the Airtable trigger active, the execution should start immediately once the file is uploaded. Otherwise, click the manual test trigger to start the workflow.
  • When manually triggered, all "new" pitch decks will be handled by the workflow as separate executions.

Requirements

  • OpenAI for LLM
  • Airtable For Database and Interface
  • Qdrant for Vector Store

Customising This Workflow

  • Extend this starter template by adding more AI agents to validate claims made in the pitch deck eg. Linkedin Profiles, Page visits, Reviews etc.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/2464/2464.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
