This template demonstrates how to trigger an AI Agent with Siri and Apple Shortcuts, showing a simple pattern for voice-activated workflows in n8n. It's easy to customize—add app nodes before the AI Agent step to pass additional context, or modify the Apple Shortcut to send inputs like text, geolocation, images, or files. Set Up Basic instructions in template itself. Requirements n8n account** (cloud or self-hosted) Apple Shortcuts app** on iOS or macOS. Dictation ("Siri") must be activated. Download the Shortcuts template here. Key Features: Voice-Controlled AI:** Trigger AI Agent via Siri for real-time voice replies. Customizable Inputs:** Modify Apple Shortcut to send text, images, geolocation, and more. Flexible Outputs:** Siri can return the AI’s response as text, files, or customize it to trigger CRUD actions in connected apps. Context-Aware:** Automatically feeds the current date and time to the AI Agent, with easy options to pass in more data. How It Works: Activate Siri and speak your request. Siri sends the transcribed text to the n8n workflow via Apple Shortcuts. AI Agent processes the request and generates a response.

The purpose of this n8n workflow is to automate the process of identifying incoming Gmail emails that are requesting an appointment, evaluating their content, checking calendar availability, and then composing and sending a response email. Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.
Custom LangChain agent written in JavaScript
This workflow has multiple functionalities. It starts with a manual trigger, "When clicking 'Execute Workflow'", that activates two separate paths. The first path takes a preset string "Tell me a joke" and processes it through a custom Language Learning Model (LLM) chain node. This node interacts with an OpenAI node for query processing. The second path takes another preset string "What year was Einstein born?" and passes it to an "Agent" node. This agent further interacts with a Chat OpenAI node and a custom Wikipedia node to produce the required information. The workflow uses both built-in and custom nodes, and integrates with OpenAI for both paths. It's built for experimenting with language models, specifically in the context of conversational agents and information retrieval. Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.
AI chatbot that can search the web
This workflow is designed for dynamic and intelligent conversational capabilities. It incorporates OpenAI's GPT-4o model for natural language understanding and generation. Additional tools include SerpAPI and Wikipedia for enriched, data-driven responses. The workflow is triggered manually, and utilizes a 'Window Buffer Memory' to maintain the context of the last 20 interactions for better conversational continuity. All these components are orchestrated through n8n nodes, ensuring seamless interconnectivity. To use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.50.0 or later.
