About this workflow

This free n8n automation template starts from a chat message and connects MySQL, Ollama, Simple and Embeddings Ollama. It uses language-model or agent nodes, so you will need an API key from your AI provider. Shared by Quirino Scaramastra on the official n8n template gallery. Open the official template page to copy it into your own n8n account, then connect your own credentials before switching it on.
