Name: AI-Powered Research Agent using Perplexity Sonar
Description:
This workflow acts as an AI-powered research assistant using the Perplexity Sonar model. When triggered by another workflow, it sends a user-defined prompt to the Perplexity API to retrieve up-to-date search results. The response is then parsed into a clean format for downstream processing.
How it Works:Trigger: Activated from another workflow via Execute Workflow Trigger.Prompt Setup: Sets a system role message and user query dynamically.API Call: Sends a POST request to Perplexity's /chat/completions endpoint with your credentials.Response Handling: Extracts the message content from the API response.Output: Returns the result, ready for display or further processing.Requirements:
- A Perplexity AI API Key
- Set up authentication via Header Auth with Bearer token
- Ensure your account allows outbound HTTP requests in n8nCustomization Tips:
- Modify the system prompt to suit your research domain
- Chain this workflow with other automation like blog creation, summaries, etc.
- Replace the output handling logic to fit into Google Sheets, Notion, or Telegram
