Adding the AI Node in n8n
In n8n, the AI integration is usually called "OpenAI" or "Anthropic" (depending on which provider you choose). The flow is similar:
- Add a new node.
- Search for "OpenAI" or "Anthropic".
- Click "Create new credential" and authenticate with your API key.
- Configure the node:
- Model: Pick the one you want.
- System prompt: The instruction set.
- Messages: The actual input (this varies slightly by provider; sometimes it's a structured message object).
- Test with sample data.
- Map upstream data once it works.
n8n's interface is slightly more technical than Make's, but the concepts are identical. You're sending a prompt + data to an LLM and getting back text.
