Target Audience

This workflow is designed for:
- Data Analysts: Who need to extract and structure information from large datasets.
- Developers: Looking to integrate LangChain with n8n for automated data processing.
- Business Analysts: Who require insights on state populations and city demographics.
- Educators: Teaching data science and automation with practical examples.
- Researchers: In need of structured data for geographic and demographic studies.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of retrieving and structuring complex data from a natural language prompt. It automates the process of extracting the 5 largest states by area in the USA, along with their 3 largest cities and respective populations, ensuring that the output is valid and well-structured for further analysis.

Workflow Steps

  • Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when the user clicks "Execute Workflow".
    2. Set Prompt: A prompt is defined, asking for information about the largest states and their cities.
    3. LLM Chain: This node processes the prompt using a language model to generate a response.
    4. Structured Output Parser: The response is validated against a predefined JSON schema to ensure it meets the expected format.
    5. Auto-fixing Output Parser: If the output is invalid, this node attempts to correct it using another language model.
    6. Sticky Notes: Various sticky notes provide explanations and context for each step in the workflow, enhancing understanding.
  • Customization Guide

    To customize this workflow:
    - Change the Prompt: Modify the text in the "Prompt" node to ask for different data or insights.
    - Adjust Output Schema: Update the JSON schema in the "Structured Output Parser" to reflect new output requirements.
    - Modify Language Model Settings: Change the parameters in the "OpenAI Chat Model" nodes to adjust the response style or temperature for creativity.
    - Add More Nodes: Incorporate additional nodes for further processing or analysis of the output data.
    - Change Trigger Type: If needed, adjust the trigger to allow for automatic execution based on other events.
