Build Your First AI Agent: Chatbot with Tools

This workflow introduces your first AI Agent, an intelligent chatbot that goes beyond conversation by utilizing tools to interact with real-world data. It features a Chat Trigger for user interaction, an AI Agent node that decides on tool usage and responses, and Google Gemini as the language model. Pre-built tools include Get Weather for real-time forecasts and Get News for RSS headlines, with Conversation Memory enabling contextual follow-ups.

Ideal for beginners, it demonstrates agentic AI capabilities customizable via system messages. Extend it by adding tools like email sending or CRM integrations. Benefits include rapid prototyping of smart assistants, time-saving automation of queries, and scalable AI interactions without coding expertise.

Use cases span marketing (personalized responses), customer support (info retrieval), and personal productivity (quick data access). Setup takes ~2 minutes: obtain a free Google AI API key from aistudio.google.com and connect it to the Gemini node in n8n. Perfect starting point for agentic workflows.
