Automated Document Q&A and Management Workflow Based on Supabase Vector Database
This workflow automates the downloading of eBooks from Google Drive. It processes the document content through text segmentation and vectorization, storing the information in a Supabase database. Users can ask questions in natural language, and the system quickly retrieves relevant information to generate accurate answers. Additionally, the workflow supports real-time management of vector data, including inserting, updating, and deleting records, thereby lowering the barrier for non-technical users to utilize AI and vector databases. It is suitable for intelligent Q&A and information retrieval in corporate knowledge bases, online education, and research materials.

Automated Document Q&A and Management Workflow Based on Supabase Vector Database
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow enables downloading eBook files (in epub format) from Google Drive, splitting the text using LangChain’s recursive character text splitter, and converting document content into vector data via OpenAI’s text embedding model (text-embedding-3-small). The vectors are then inserted or updated in a Supabase vector database with the pgvector extension enabled. Users can initiate natural language queries through a chat interface, where the system performs fast vector similarity search to retrieve relevant content and leverages OpenAI’s chat model to generate precise answers. Additionally, the workflow provides guidelines for deleting records from the vector database, supporting a full lifecycle of vector database management.
Core Problems Addressed
- Automates vector indexing and storage of large-scale documents to achieve efficient semantic search.
- Enables natural language Q&A over document content, enhancing ease of knowledge acquisition.
- Supports insertion, updating, and deletion of documents to ensure real-time accuracy of vector database data.
- Lowers the technical barrier for non-expert users to integrate complex AI and vector database technologies.
Application Scenarios
- Intelligent Q&A systems for enterprise knowledge bases
- Semantic search and interactive Q&A for online educational materials
- Rapid content retrieval and information extraction from eBooks and research documents
- Any scenario requiring intelligent semantic queries based on document content
Main Workflow Steps
- File Download: Download target eBook files via the Google Drive node.
- Text Splitting: Use LangChain’s recursive character text splitter to divide documents into manageable text chunks.
- Vector Generation: Generate vector embeddings for each text chunk using the OpenAI Embeddings node.
- Vector Storage: Insert or update the generated vectors and corresponding texts into the Supabase vector database table.
- Q&A Trigger: Receive user questions through LangChain’s chat trigger.
- Vector Retrieval: Perform vector similarity search using Supabase custom SQL functions to fetch relevant content.
- Answer Generation: Generate answers by combining retrieved content with OpenAI’s chat model.
- Result Output: Organize and return the final Q&A results to the user.
- Data Deletion (Optional): Send deletion commands to the Supabase API via HTTP request nodes to remove vector records.
