How It Works
This workflow operates in two main parts: a responsive AI agent and a dedicated custom tool for data retrieval. When a user inputs a query via the chat interface, the AI agent, powered by OpenAI, interprets the request. If the query pertains to Hacker News, the AI agent intelligently invokes a custom n8n tool. This tool activates a sub-workflow that connects to Hacker News, fetches the specified data (e.g., top 50 posts), cleans it, and structures it into a JSON format. The AI agent then processes this refined data to generate a precise, natural language answer, delivering immediate insights back to the user.
