Chat with a Google Sheet Using AI
This workflow allows you to ask questions about the data in a Google Sheet over a chat interface. It uses n8n's built-in chat, but could be modified to work with Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, etc. Behind the scenes, the workflow uses GPT-4, so you'll need to have an OpenAI API key that supports it. ### How it works The workflow uses an AI agent with custom tools that call a sub-workflow. That sub-workflow reads the Google Sheet and returns information from it. Because models have a context window (and therefore a maximum number of characters they can accept), we can't pass the whole Google Sheet to GPT-4 - at least not for big sheets. So we provide three ways of querying less data, that can be used in combination to answer questions. Those three functions are: 1. List all the columns in the sheet 2. Get all values of a single column 3. Get all values of a single row Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.
