RAG Pipeline

Great! Here's the updated Dev.to post with your YouTube

๐Ÿ” Automate Your AI Workflow with n8n, Google Gemini, and Pinecone โ€” Meet CalBot ๐Ÿค–

Do you work with large sets of documents? Build AI apps that rely on external content? Or just love automation?

Then youโ€™ll love CalBot โ€” a smart workflow I built using n8n that automates everything from file ingestion to vector storage.
It's a plug-and-play solution for document processing, semantic search, and RAG-based applications.


๐Ÿš€ What is CalBot?

CalBot is an automated pipeline that does the following:

  • Watches a Google Drive folder for new files
  • Downloads and processes each file into text chunks
  • Embeds those chunks using Google Gemini (PaLM API)
  • Stores the embeddings in a Pinecone vector store

All of this is done using n8n โ€” no manual steps, no complex setup.

๐Ÿ“Œ Ideal for developers building AI assistants, search engines, chatbots, or internal knowledge bases.


โš™๏ธ The Tech Stack

  • n8n for workflow automation
  • Google Drive API (file monitoring + download)
  • Google Gemini (PaLM) for text embeddings
  • Pinecone for fast vector search
  • Recursive Text Splitter for clean chunking
  • JSON-based workflow thatโ€™s easy to import and extend

๐Ÿง  Use Cases

  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
  • Internal document search
  • FAQ bots
  • AI-driven content understanding
  • Knowledge base enrichment
