What it does
This n8n template combines an AI agent with n8n's multi-page forms to create a novel interaction which allows automated question-and-answer sessions. One of the more obvious use-cases of this interaction is what I'm calling the AI interviewer. You can read the full post here: https://community.n8n.io/t/build-your-own-ai-interview-agents-with-n8n-forms/62312 Live demo here: https://jimleuk.app.n8n.cloud/form/driving-lessons-survey How it works A form trigger is used to start the interview and a new session is created in redis to capture the transcript. An AI agent is then tasked to ask questions to the user regarding the topic of the interview. This is setup as a loop so the questions never stop unless the user wishes to end the interview. Each answer is recorded in our session set up earlier between questions. When the user requests to end the interview we break the loop and show the interview completion screen. Finally, the session is then saved in a Google Sheet which can then be shared with team members and for the purpose of data analysis. How to use You'll need to be on a n8n instance that is accessible to your target audience. Not technical enough to setup your own server? Try out n8n cloud and instantly deploy template! Remember to activate the workflow so the form trigger is published and available for users to use. Requirements Groq LLM for AI agent. Feel free to swap this out for any other LLM. Redis(-compatible) storage for capturing sessions Customising this workflow The next step would be adding tools! AI interviews with knowledge retrieval could definitely open up other possibilities. Eg. An onboarding wizard generating questions by pulling facts from internal knowledgebase.
