Storage\n**Made by [Mark Shcherbakov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marklowcoding/) from community [5minAI](https://www.skool.com/5minai-2861)**\n\nManually retrieving and analyzing specific information from large document repositories is time-consuming and inefficient. This workflow automates the process by vectorizing documents and enabling AI-powered interactions, making it easy to query and retrieve context-based information from uploaded files.\n\nThe workflow integrates Supabase with an AI-powered chatbot to process, store, and query text and PDF files. The steps include:\n- Fetching and comparing files to avoid duplicate processing.\n- Handling file downloads and extracting content based on the file type.\n- Converting documents into vectorized data for contextual information retrieval.\n- Storing and querying vectorized data from a Supabase vector store.\n\n"}, "typeVersion": 1}, {"id": "df054036-d6b9-4f53-86cb-85ad96f07d0e", "name": "Sticky Note6", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [-820, -940], "parameters": {"color": 7, "width": 280.2462120317618, "height": 545.9087885077763, "content": "### Set up steps\n\n1. **Fetch File List from Supabase**:\n - Use Supabase to retrieve the stored file list from a specified bucket.\n - Add logic to manage empty folder placeholders returned by Supabase, avoiding incorrect processing.\n\n2. **Compare and Filter Files**:\n - Aggregate the files retrieved from storage and compare them to the existing list in the Supabase `files` table.\n - Exclude duplicates and skip placeholder files to ensure only unprocessed files are handled.\n\n3. **Handle File Downloads**:\n - Download new files using detailed storage configurations for public/private access.\n - Adjust the storage settings and GET requests to match your Supabase setup.\n\n4. **File Type Processing**:\n - Use a Switch node to target specific file types (e.g., PDFs or text files).\n - Employ relevant tools to process the content:\n - For PDFs, extract embedded content.\n - For text files, directly process the text data.\n\n5. **Content Chunking**:\n - Break large text data into smaller chunks using the Text Splitter node.\n - Define chunk size (default: 500 tokens) and overlap to retain necessary context across chunks.\n\n6. **Vector Embedding Creation**:\n - Generate vectorized embeddings for the processed content using OpenAI's embedding tools.\n - Ensure metadata, such as file ID, is included for easy data retrieval.\n\n7. **Store Vectorized Data**:\n - Save the vectorized information into a dedicated Supabase vector store.\n - Use the default schema and table provided by Supabase for seamless setup.\n\n8. **AI Chatbot Integration**:\n - Add a chatbot node to handle user input and retrieve relevant document chunks.\n - Use metadata like file ID for targeted queries, especially when multiple documents are involved."}, "typeVersion": 1}, {"id": "450a1e49-4be9-451a-9d05-2860e29c3695", "name": "Sticky Note8", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [540, -1160], "parameters": {"color": 5, "width": 951.7421645394404, "height": 809.7437181509877, "content": "## Scenario 2 -
