AI evaluation in n8n This is a template for n8n's evaluation feature. Evaluation is a technique for getting confidence that your AI workflow performs reliably, by running a test dataset containing different inputs through the workflow. By calculating a metric (score) for each input, you can see where the workflow is performing well and where it isn't. How it works This template shows how to calculate a workflow evaluation metric: text similarity, measured character-by-character. The workflow takes images of hand-written codes, extracts the code and compares it with the expected answer from the dataset. The images look like this: The workflow works as follows: We use an evaluation trigger to read in our dataset It is wired up in parallel with the regular trigger so that the workflow can be started from either one. More info We download the image and use AI to extract the code If we’re evaluating (i.e. the execution started from the evaluation trigger), we calculate the string distance metric We pass this information back to n8n as a metric

This n8n template demonstrates one approach to customer authentication via chat agents. Unlike approaches where you have to authenticate users prior to interacting with the agent, this approach allows guest users to authenticate at any time during the session or not at all. Note about Security: this template is for illustration purposes only and requires much more work to be ready for production! How it works A conversational agent is used for this demonstration. The key component is the Redis node just after the chat trigger which acts as the session context. For guests, the session item is blank. for customers, the session item is populated with their customer profile. The agent is instructed to generate a unique login URL only for guests when appropriate or upon request. This login URL redirects the guest user to a simple n8n form also hosted in this template. The login URL has the current sessionID as a query parameter as the way to pass this data to the form. Once login is successful, the matching session item by sessionId is populated with the customer profile. The user can now return to the chat window. Back to the agent, now when the user sends their next message, the Redis node will pick up the session item and the customer profile associated with it. The system prompt is updated with this data which let's the agent know the user is now a customer. How to use You'll need to update the "auth URL" tool to match the URL of your n8n instance. Better yet, copy the production URL of your form from the trigger. Activate the workflow to turn on production mode which is required for this workflow. Implement the authentication logic in step 3. This could be sending the user and pass to a postgreSQL data for validation. Requirements OpenAI for LLM (feel free to swap to any provider) Redis for Cache/Sessions (again, feel free to swap this out for postgresql or other database) Customising this workflow Consider not populating the session item with the user data as it can become stale. Instead, just add the userId and instruct the agent to query using tools. Extend the Login URL idea by experimenting with signup URLs or single-use Urls.

How it Works Disclaimer: This template is for self-hosted n8n instances only. This workflow is designed for developers, data analysts, and automation enthusiasts seeking to automate personalized news collection and delivery. It seamlessly combines n8n, OpenAI (e.g., GPT-4.1), and Bright Data’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) to collect, extract, and email the latest global news headlines. On a schedule or via a manual trigger, the workflow prompts an AI agent to gather fresh news. The agent leverages context-aware memory and integrated MCP tools to conduct both search engine queries and direct web page scraping in real time, delivering more than just meta search results—it extracts actual on-page headlines and trusted links. Results are formatted and delivered automatically by email via your SMTP provider, requiring zero manual effort once configured. Who is this for? Developers, data engineers, or automation pros wanting an AI-powered, fully automated newsfeed Teams needing up-to-date news digests from trusted global sources Anyone self-hosting n8n who wishes to combine advanced LLMs with real-time web data Setup Steps Setup time: Approx. 15–30 minutes (n8n install, API configuration, node setup) Requirements: Self-hosted n8n instance OpenAI API key Bright Data MCP account credentials SMTP/email provider details Install the community MCP node (n8n-nodes-mcp) for n8n and set up Bright Data MCP access. Configure these nodes: Schedule Trigger: For automated delivery at your chosen interval. Edit Fields: To inject your AI news collection prompt. AI Agent: Connects to OpenAI and MCP, enabled with memory for context. OpenAI Chat Model: Connects via your OpenAI credentials. MCP Clients: Configure at least two—one for search (e.g. search_engine) and one for scraping (e.g. scrape_as_markdown). Send Email: Set up with recipient and SMTP information. Credentials must be entered into their respective nodes for successful execution. Customization Guidance Prompt Tweaks:** Refine your AI news prompt to target specific genres, regions, or sources, or broaden/narrow the coverage as needed. Tool Configuration:** Carefully define tool descriptions and parameters in MCP client nodes so the agent can pick the best tool for each step (e.g., only scrape real news sites). Delivery Settings:** Adjust email recipient(s) and SMTP details as needed. Workflow Enhancements:** Use sticky notes in n8n for extended documentation, alternate prompts, or troubleshooting tips. Run Frequency:** Set schedule as needed—from hourly to daily updates. Once configured, this workflow will automatically gather, extract, and email curated news headlines and links—no manual curation required!

This n8n template demonstrates how to calculate the evaluation metric "Relevance" which in this scenario, measures the relevance of the agent's response to the user's question. The scoring approach is adapted from the open-source evaluations project RAGAS and you can see the source here https://github.com/explodinggradients/ragas/blob/main/ragas/src/ragas/metrics/_answer_relevance.py How it works This evaluation works best for Q&A agents. For our scoring, we analyse the agent's response and ask another AI to generate a question from it. This generated question is then compared to the original question using cosine similarity. A high score indicates relevance and the agent's successful ability to answer the question whereas a low score means agent may have added too much irrelevant info, went off script or hallucinated.

Automated Content Idea Generation and Expansion with Google Gemini and Google Sheets This n8n workflow automates the process of generating content ideas based on a user-defined topic, then expands each idea into a more detailed content piece (like a blog post) using Google Gemini, and finally saves all the generated data (idea title, description, and full content) into a Google Sheet. It's a powerful tool for streamlining content creation workflows. This workflow includes: Generation of multiple content ideas from a single topic. Expansion of each idea into detailed content using AI. Storage of ideas and generated content in a structured Google Sheet. Sticky Notes within the workflow for inline documentation and setup guidance. Prerequisites n8n Instance: You need a running n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud). Google AI Account: Access to Google AI (Gemini). You will need an API key. Google Account: Access to Google Sheets. You will need to create or use an existing spreadsheet with specific column headers. Installation and Setup Import the Workflow: Copy the entire JSON code provided. In your n8n instance, go to "Workflows". Click "New" -> "Import from JSON". Paste the JSON code and click "Import". Configure Credentials: Google AI (Gemini): Find the "Google Gemini Chat Model for Content Idea Generator" node and the "Google Gemini Chat Model for Content Generation" node. Click on the "Credentials" field in both nodes (it will likely show a placeholder name like "Google Gemini(PaLM) Api account"). Click "Create New". Select "Google AI API". Enter your Google AI API Key. Save the credential. (You can reuse the same credential for both nodes). Google Sheets: Find the "Google Sheets" node. Click on the "Credentials" field (it will likely show a placeholder name like "Google Sheets account"). Click "Create New". Select "Google Sheets OAuth2 API". Follow the steps to connect your Google Account and grant n8n access to Google Sheets. Save the credential. Configure Google Sheets Node: Open the "Google Sheets" node settings. Spreadsheet ID: Replace the placeholder value with the actual ID of your Google Sheet. You can find the Spreadsheet ID in the URL of your Google Sheet (it's the long string of characters between /d/ and /edit). Sheet Name: Select or enter the name or GID of the sheet within your spreadsheet where you want to save the data (e.g., Sheet1 or gid=0). Columns: Ensure your Google Sheet has columns named title, description, and content. The node is configured to map the generated data to these specific column headers. Save the node settings. Review Sticky Notes: Look at the Sticky Notes placed around the workflow canvas. They provide helpful context and reminders for setup, required Google Sheet columns, and the AI models used. How to Use Activate the Workflow: Toggle the workflow switch to "Active". Trigger the Workflow: Since this workflow uses a "When clicking ‘Execute workflow’" node as the trigger, you can run it directly from the n8n editor. Click the "Execute Workflow" button. The workflow will start automatically. Set the Topic: Open the "Set the input fields" node. Modify the topic value to the subject you want to generate content ideas about. Save the node settings. Monitor Execution: Watch the workflow execute. The nodes will light up as they process. The "Loop Over Items" node will show multiple executions as it processes each generated idea. Check Results: The generated content ideas (title, description) and the expanded content will be written as new rows in the Google Sheet you configured. Each row will correspond to one generated idea and its content. This workflow provides a robust starting point for AI-assisted content creation. You can customize the AI prompts in the "Content Idea Generator" and "LLM Content Generator" nodes to refine the output style and format, or integrate additional steps like sending notifications or further processing the generated content.
