This workflow is an experiment to integrate charts in AI Agents, using the new Structured Output from OpenAI and Quickchart.io.

How it works

Users chat with an AI Agent. Anytime the AI Agent considers a chart is needed, it calls a tool to generate a chart. OpenAI generates a chart using the Quickchart definition. This object is added at the end of a Quickchart.io URL (see documentation). The URL is added in the conversation via the AI Agent as markdown.

Set up steps

1. Create an OpenAI API Key

2. Create the OpenAI credentials

3. Use the credentials for the HTTP Request node (as Predefined Credential type)

4. Activate your workflow

5. Start chatting

For example, you can ask the AI Agent to generate a chart about the top 5 movies at the box office.
