LLM Chaining Examples

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow demonstrates multiple examples of multi-step large language model (LLM) chaining to progressively analyze and process web content. By integrating the Anthropic Claude 3.7 Sonnet model, it supports three processing modes: sequential chaining, iterative agent processing, and parallel processing, catering to flexible needs across different scenarios. Highlights include:

• Multi-step LLM chains capable of executing complex tasks in sequence
• Agent memory management to maintain contextual continuity in conversations
• Parallel processing to enhance response speed
• Webhook interface support for easy integration with external systems
• Balanced ease of use and extensibility, suitable for both beginners and advanced users

Core Problems Addressed

Traditional single-call LLM usage struggles with complex multi-step tasks and maintaining context continuity and efficient responsiveness. This workflow solves these issues through chained calls, multi-model collaboration, and memory management by addressing:

• Decomposition and sequential execution of multi-step tasks
• Preservation and utilization of contextual information
• Efficiency and scalability of task execution
• Complexity arising from parallel multi-task processing

Application Scenarios

• Automated web content analysis and summary generation
• Multi-turn dialogue systems and intelligent assistants
• Automated Q&A requiring complex logical reasoning
• Enterprise knowledge management and intelligent retrieval
• Business process automation involving stepwise LLM calls and memory management

Main Process Steps

1. Trigger Node: Manually trigger the workflow or receive requests via Webhook.
2. HTTP Request: Fetch specified web page content (e.g., n8n blog homepage).
3. Markdown Conversion: Convert web content into Markdown format for easier downstream processing.
4. Initial Prompt Setup: Define system roles and multi-step prompts (e.g., “What is the page content?”, “List the authors”, etc.).
5. LLM Chaining Calls:
   • Sequentially invoke the Anthropic Claude model to accomplish tasks such as page content comprehension, author listing, article listing, and humorous comment generation.
6. Parallel and Sequential Processing:
   • Provide examples of sequential chaining to maintain context continuity.
   • Parallel processing examples to improve speed without context memory.
7. Memory Management:
   • Use Simple Memory node to cache conversational context.
   • Use Clean Memory node to clear memory and keep sessions tidy.
8. Result Merging: Combine outputs from all steps to form a complete final result.
