The ULTIMATE n8n RAG AI Agent Template - Local AI Edition

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is the most widely adopted method for giving AI agents access to your knowledge base so they can be domain experts on your documents. Depending on your use case, however, RAG by itself is often not powerful enough. That’s why over the past month I’ve started to cover Agentic RAG, which is one of the best ways to take RAG further for better results and flexibility to work with the different types of documents you have.

Recently on my channel, I showcased my ultimate n8n Agentic RAG AI Agent template, which is available for you to download right now (link below) as a fantastic starting point to build your own agentic RAG system with no code. However, an overwhelming number of you asked for a 100% local version of the agent, so that is what I’m bringing to you now!

In this video, I’ll walk you through the local n8n Agentic RAG workflow (link to this template below as well), use cases it covers, and how to set it all up so that you have a 100% offline, secure, and powerful RAG agent.
