Chat with a Google Sheet using AI
Use n8n to bring your own data to AI. This workflow uses the Chat Trigger to provide the chat interface, and the Call n8n Workflow Tool to call a second workflow that queries Google Sheets.

Key features
This workflow uses:
- Chat Trigger: start your workflow and respond to user chat interactions. The node provides a customizable chat interface.
- Agent: the key piece of the AI workflow. The Agent interacts with other components of the workflow and makes decisions about what tools to use.
- Call n8n Workflow Tool: plug in n8n workflows as custom tools. In AI, a tool is an interface the AI can use to interact with the world (in this case, the data provided by your workflow). The AI model uses the tool to access information beyond its built-in dataset.
