Enable AI Agents to Call APIs for Real-Time Data Fetching

This n8n workflow uses a Chat Trigger and Custom Workflow Tool to let AI agents query and fetch data from any API via a sub-workflow that refines requests intelligently.

This advanced n8n workflow empowers AI agents to dynamically fetch data from external APIs during conversations. The main workflow features a Chat Trigger for user interaction and an AI agent equipped with a Custom n8n Workflow Tool. When the agent needs data, it invokes a sub-workflow that uses AI to parse and refine the user's natural language query into precise API parameters. The sub-workflow then executes an HTTP request to the target API—demonstrated with the Bored API for activity sugges
