Automate Paul Graham Essay Analysis and AI Chat
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow automates the process of scraping Paul Graham's essays, processing them, and loading them into a Milvus vector store. It then sets up an AI chatbot capable of answering questions based on the essay content.
About This Workflow
This workflow is a powerful demonstration of integrating web scraping with advanced AI capabilities. It begins by fetching a list of Paul Graham's essays from his website, extracts relevant links, and then downloads the content of the first few essays. The extracted text is cleaned and then processed by OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini model for embedding. These embeddings are then stored in a Milvus vector database. The workflow is designed to facilitate a conversational AI experience, allowing users to query the loaded essays and receive contextually relevant answers.
This solution showcases a robust pipeline for knowledge management and AI-powered information retrieval, perfect for developers and data scientists looking to build intelligent applications.
