Hi everyone. I am new to n8n, running the latest version locally on a Mac. I have imported some newsletter/content automation workflows and swapped out the OpenAI chat model nodes for Mistral. I am in Hong Kong, where unfortunately OpenAI and Anthropic are unavailable.
The workflow involves triggering the Tavily API as a tool of the AI agents. However, I came to realize that the generated output is purely based on the model’s knowledge without any input from Tavily and I suspect that this might be because the Mistral chat model node doesn’t support the use of tools. Does anyone know if this is the case? Is there a list of compatible models somewhere?
Alternatively, I am thinking of signing up for a Perplexity API and setting up an HTTP request tool. Would this run into the same issue? I am interested in generating a summary of recent industry news (i.e. within last 24 hours) so any pointers to useful resources would be much appreciated.
Another newbie question - are there any AI chatbots that are good at helping design/troubleshoot n8n workflows? So far I’m getting rather poor results from the ones I’ve tried.
