Recipe Recommendations with Qdrant and Mistral

This n8n workflow demonstrates creating a recipe recommendation chatbot using the Qdrant vector store recommendation API.

Use this example to build recommendation features in your AI Agents for your users.

How it works

For our recipes, we'll use HelloFresh's weekly course and recipes for data. We'll scrape the website for this data. Each recipe is split, vectorised and inserted into a Qdrant Collection using Mistral Embeddings Additionally the whole recipe is stored in a SQLite database for later retrieval. Our AI Agent is setup to recommend recipes from our Qdrant vector store. However, instead of the default similarity search, we'll use the Recommendation API instead. Qdrant's Recommendation API allows you to provide a negative prompt; in our case, the user can specify recipes or ingredients to avoid. The AI Agent is now able to suggest a recipe recommendation better suited for the user and increase customer satisfaction.
