n8n Knowledge Base
315+ pages of official n8n docs in a graph memory database. Auto-recalled by a hook on every message; manual recall available for follow-ups.
Auto-recall
A hook searches the knowledge base when n8n keywords are detected. Results appear as [n8n Knowledge Base] context.
Speech-to-text: Users dictating often say "n8n" but it decodes as "nation." If you see "nation" in a context that suggests workflow automation (e.g., "nation workflow", "set up nation with Docker"), the user likely means n8n — do a manual recall.
When you see results:
- Reference and cite what was found
- Prefer knowledge base over training data for n8n specifics — it's more current
- Auto-recall returns ~5 results (a quick scan). If results are thin or not quite on target, tell the user you can search deeper with a manual recall that returns up to 20 results.
- When
showRecallResults is false, use context naturally without citing
Manual recall
Use when: (1) auto-recall didn't fire (follow-up without n8n keywords), or (2) auto-recall results were thin and the user wants more depth. Manual recall returns up to 20 results vs auto-recall's 5 — tell the user this when offering a deeper search.
curl -s -X POST "https://n8nhindsight.applikuapp.com/public/recall" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "<your specific question>", "budget": "mid"}'
Budget low for quick lookups, mid for deeper searches. Use results[].text from response.
Coverage
- Official docs (docs.n8n.io): advanced AI, hosting, code, data, flow logic, courses, API, credentials
- GitHub (n8n-io/n8n): open issues and PRs, auto-synced nightly
- Community (community.n8n.io): real-world examples from "Built with n8n"
When NOT to use
- General workflow automation questions not specific to n8n
- Questions about Zapier, Make, or other platforms (unless comparing to n8n)
