Extracting text from a chat can calling a tool

Questions

Hello

I’m new to n8n and not sure how to accomplish this. I’m just experimenting with n8n to see if I can create something useful (hopefully) for my non-technical team members. Basically I would like to have a chat where a user can ask for information about a (azure devops) project. For example “Get project X”. I have created a few test workflows that return various bits of information (projects, repositories, commits etc). However what the goal is, is for the project name taken from the chat input and passed to the next tool (?) that would call out to devops, fetch the projects and find the one based on the name requested. I’ve created an assistant that can infer the project name however at this point i’m clueless how to proceed. Any help/advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

I’m running on win11 using the docker self-hosted-ai-starter-kit. I’m also on a cloud trial.

Hey @seanrock,

Welcome to the community :tada:

It sounds like you are almost there, I suspect it is just down to which tool to use to get the data. Have you looked at some of our example AI workflows? We have a few in there now that let you ask questions on different data sources so there could be something in there for you.

This one that works with Notion is fairly well made and could be a good example: Notion AI Assistant Generator | n8n workflow template
