How It Works
The workflow begins with a manual chat trigger that initiates the data retrieval process. It connects to the Hacker News API to fetch relevant information, then transforms the data using custom code and n8n's data manipulation tools. The OpenAI integration processes the retrieved data through advanced language models, enabling natural language understanding and response generation. Custom AI agents then interpret and contextualize the information, creating a seamless conversational experience that allows users to interact with complex data sources as if speaking to an intelligent research assistant.
