What This Workflow Does
This n8n workflow creates an intelligent AI assistant for your website that understands natural language questions and provides accurate, context-aware responses. By combining DeepSeek AI's advanced language capabilities with Pinecone's vector search technology, the system delivers precise answers drawn from your knowledge base.
The site-based routing feature automatically directs questions to the most relevant information sources based on which section of your website the visitor is browsing. This means pricing questions get sales-focused answers while technical queries receive support-oriented responses - all without manual intervention.
How It Works
1. Visitor submits query
When a website visitor asks a question through your chat interface or search box, the workflow captures both the question text and the current page URL for context.
2. Context analysis
The system analyzes the URL structure to determine the website section (e.g. /pricing/, /support/) and enriches the query with this contextual information before processing.
3. Vector search
DeepSeek AI converts the question into a vector embedding, which Pinecone compares against your indexed content to find the most semantically similar information chunks.
4. Response generation
The workflow combines the retrieved content with the original question to generate a natural language response using DeepSeek's language model, tailored to the specific query context.
5. Continuous learning
All interactions are logged with accuracy ratings, creating a feedback loop that automatically improves future responses through ongoing training.
