How It Works
The automation leverages n8n's workflow engine to connect Ollama's local language model with chat triggers, enabling real-time AI interactions. When a chat request is initiated, the workflow routes the input through the Lmchatollama node, which processes the query using a locally hosted AI model. The Chainllm integration allows for advanced prompt chaining and context management, ensuring coherent and contextually relevant responses. The entire process occurs within the organization's secure infrastructure, maintaining complete control over data and interactions.
