What it does

This n8n template watches a Google Drive folder for new PDF, TXT and JSON files. It splits each file, creates embeddings with OpenAI's text-embedding-3-small model, and stores them in Postgres with the PGVector extension. Processed files move to a separate vectorized folder so they are not handled twice. It can run manually or on a daily schedule, 3 AM by default.

Use cases

  1. 01Preparing internal documents for an AI assistant
  2. 02Searching private files by meaning
  3. 03Indexing new files in a folder without repeats
