Ollama Chat Workflow Overview
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for integrating Ollama's local large language models into your automated chat processes. It captures incoming messages, processes them with a Llama 3.2 model, and delivers a clean, structured JSON output, making AI interaction efficient and reliable.
Key Features
- Automated chat message triggering for instant responses.
- Seamless integration with Ollama and the Llama 3.2 model.
- Generation of structured JSON responses, including prompt and AI response fields.
- Robust error handling to ensure continuous operation.
- Customizable LLM chain prompt for diverse use cases.
How It Works
The workflow begins with the 'When chat message received' node, instantly capturing user input. This input flows into the 'Basic LLM Chain', which orchestrates the interaction with the Ollama language model. The 'Ollama Model' node, configured with llama3.2:latest, processes the message based on a defined prompt, instructing it to return the user's prompt and its own response in a JSON format. After processing, the 'JSON to Object' node parses the raw text output from the LLM into a usable JSON object. Finally, the 'Structured Response' node formats this object into a human-readable chat response, while an 'Error Response' node handles any failures in the LLM chain, ensuring continuous feedback.
