Q: Do these work with OpenAI / Claude / other cloud APIs? A: The workflows are built for Ollama, but you can swap the HTTP Request nodes for n8n's native OpenAI/Anthropic nodes with minimal changes.
Q: What n8n version do I need? A: v1.0 or later. All workflows use standard nodes available in the free self-hosted version.
Q: Can I use a different Ollama model?
A: Yes. Change llama3:8b in the workflow to any model you have pulled (e.g., mistral, codellama, phi3).

The full pack adds 8 more workflows covering email automation, lead scoring, competitor monitoring, meeting notes, document summarization, content repurposing, YouTube-to-newsletter, and support ticket routing.
