Intelligent Document Q&A and Vector Database Management Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automates the entire process of downloading eBooks (in epub format) from Google Drive, splitting the text content, generating embeddings using OpenAI’s text embedding model, and storing the vectors in a Supabase vector database (with pgvector extension enabled). Users can interact via a chat interface to ask questions in real-time. The system leverages vector retrieval and QA chain techniques to quickly fetch relevant document content from the database and generate intelligent answers. It supports document insertion, upsert (update or insert), querying, and provides guidance for deletion operations.
Core Problems Addressed
- Automated processing and structured import of document content into a vector database
- Efficient semantic search and question answering based on vector retrieval technology
- Simplified user interaction with the knowledge base through a chatbot interface
- End-to-end intelligent document management by integrating multiple technologies (Google Drive, OpenAI, Supabase)
- Full lifecycle support for vector database operations (CRUD), enhancing data management flexibility
Application Scenarios
- Enterprise knowledge base management and intelligent Q&A
- Intelligent tutoring for eBooks in education and training
- Semantic search and content extraction for research institutions
- Intelligent FAQ systems in customer service
- Any scenario requiring transformation of unstructured documents into a queryable knowledge base
Main Workflow Steps
- Download Document: Download the target eBook file via the Google Drive node.
- Load and Split: Load the epub file using the default data loader and split the text into vectorizable chunks using a recursive character text splitter.
- Generate Vectors: Generate text embeddings using OpenAI’s text-embedding-3-small model.
- Insert/Update Data: Insert or update the generated vectors and corresponding text content into the Supabase vector database table.
- Vector Retrieval: Receive user chat messages and invoke the vector retrieval node to find the most relevant document fragments from the Supabase database.
- Answer Generation: Use OpenAI’s chat model to generate answers based on the retrieved results.
- Response Output: Customize and return the final Q&A text to the user.
- Deletion Operation: Demonstrate how to call the Supabase API via an HTTP request node to delete records from the vector database.
Involved Systems or Services
- Google Drive: Storage and provision of eBook file downloads.
- OpenAI: Text embedding generation (text-embedding-3-small model) and chat-based Q&A (ChatGPT model).
- Supabase: Hosting the vector database with pgvector extension for vector storage and similarity search.
- n8n Built-in Nodes: Workflow construction tools including text splitting, data setting, HTTP requests, etc.

AI Document Assistant via Telegram + Supabase
This workflow transforms a Telegram bot into an intelligent document assistant. Users can upload PDF documents via Telegram, and the system automatically parses them to generate semantic vectors, which are stored in a Supabase database for easy intelligent retrieval and Q&A. The bot utilizes a powerful language model to answer complex questions in real-time, supporting rich HTML format output and automatically splitting long replies to ensure clear information presentation. Additionally, it integrates a weather query feature to enhance user experience, making it suitable for personal knowledge management, corporate assistance, educational tutoring, and customer support scenarios.
Automated Document Note Generation and Export Workflow
This workflow automatically extracts new documents, generates intelligent summaries, stores vectors, and produces various formats of documents such as study notes, briefings, and timelines by monitoring a local folder. It supports multiple file formats including PDF, DOCX, and plain text. By integrating advanced AI language models and vector databases, it enhances content understanding and retrieval capabilities, significantly reducing the time required for traditional document organization. This workflow is suitable for scenarios such as academic research, training, content creation, and corporate knowledge management, greatly improving the efficiency of information extraction and utilization.
Intelligent Document Q&A – Vector Retrieval Chat System Based on Google Drive and Pinecone
This workflow primarily implements the automatic downloading of documents from Google Drive, utilizing OpenAI for text processing and vector generation, which are then stored in the Pinecone vector database. Users can quickly ask questions in natural language through a chat interface, and the system will return relevant answers based on vector retrieval. This solution effectively addresses the inefficiencies and inaccuracies of traditional document retrieval, making it widely applicable in scenarios such as corporate knowledge bases, legal, research, and customer service, thereby enhancing the convenience and accuracy of information retrieval.
