Multifunctional Intelligent Automation Demonstration Workflow

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow showcases multiple automation use cases based on n8n, covering three core scenarios: intelligent email classification, PDF document knowledge base construction and Q&A, and an intelligent scheduling assistant. By leveraging low-code integration of powerful AI models (OpenAI GPT-4o, Anthropic) and vector databases (Pinecone), it achieves efficient data processing, intelligent understanding, and automated execution.

Core Problems Addressed

• Automatically identify and classify email content to improve email management efficiency
• Convert PDF documents into a searchable knowledge base, enabling intelligent Q&A based on document content to solve information retrieval challenges
• Automate scheduling assistance through natural language interaction to book meetings, avoid conflicts, and simplify appointment workflows

Application Scenarios

• Customer support teams automatically classify and process customer emails
• R&D or marketing teams rapidly build document knowledge bases to enhance information utilization
• Personal assistants or sales teams efficiently manage schedules and automatically arrange meetings

Main Workflow Steps

1. Intelligent Email Classification Example

   • Triggered by new incoming emails (Gmail Trigger)
   • Use AI text classifier to automatically categorize email content (e.g., “automation” or “music”)
   • Automatically add corresponding labels to emails based on classification results

2. PDF Document Knowledge Base and Q&A Example

   • Download target PDF files via HTTP request
   • Use a recursive text splitter to divide PDF text into manageable chunks
   • Generate text embeddings using OpenAI and store them in the Pinecone vector database
   • When users input questions via chat interface, query the vector database to retrieve relevant content
   • Use the GPT-4o model to generate precise answers based on retrieved information, supporting document-based intelligent Q&A

3. Intelligent Scheduling Assistant Example

   • Receive user appointment requests via chat trigger
   • Call Google Calendar API to check Max Tkacz’s availability
   • Combine AI intelligent agent to confirm user needs and detect scheduling conflicts
   • Automatically create calendar events to complete meeting bookings
   • Support multi-turn conversations and context memory to enhance user experience

Systems and Services Involved

• Gmail: Email monitoring and label management
• Slack: Message sending
• OpenAI GPT-4o: Text generation, Q&A, text classification, embedding generation
• Anthropic Chat Model: Assistive intelligent dialogue
• Pinecone: Vector database for storing and retrieving text embeddings
• Google Calendar API: Schedule querying and appointment management
• Webhook: Workflow triggering

Target Users and Value

• Technical teams and automation developers: Quickly build complex AI-assisted workflows with low-code
• Customer service and operations teams: Automate email classification to improve response efficiency
• Knowledge management and content teams: Build intelligent document Q&A systems for easy information retrieval
• Sales and administrative assistants: Automate meeting scheduling to reduce manual coordination costs
• Any professionals seeking to enhance work efficiency through AI and automation
