About This Workflow

Overview

This workflow demonstrates how to ensure that all texts generated by an OpenAI assistant, when using file retrieval from a vector store, are accompanied by accurate citations and sources.

It addresses issues with assistants sometimes generating strange characters or missing citations and allows for formatting the output with Markdown or HTML.

Key Features

Automatically extracts and formats citations from OpenAI file retrieval.
Ensures all sources are linked to the generated text.
Allows for dynamic formatting of output (Markdown or HTML).
Provides a clear example for implementing citation-aware RAG with OpenAI assistants.

How To Use

Setup OpenAI Credentials: Ensure your OpenAI API key is configured in n8n.
Configure Assistant: Use an existing OpenAI assistant with a vector store configured for file retrieval, or create one.
Input Data: The workflow is designed to be triggered, simulating a user query to the OpenAI assistant.
Format Output: Adjust the final Set node to customize the output format (Markdown, HTML) and how citations are displayed.
