👉Try Regolo node in your n8n Workflow for free
Automation teams waste countless hours building custom API wrappers just to add simple reasoning or image generation to their workflows. Worse, relying on US-only providers for AI nodes often creates GDPR headaches and data residency blockers that kill projects before they scale.
You shouldn’t have to maintain fragile Python scripts or worry about compliance just to get an AI agent to summarize an email or generate a receipt.
Run Regolo reasoning and image generation inside n8n in under 10 minutes. 100% GDPR-aligned, drag-and-drop simple, and ready for production.
Outcome
- Native Integration: No complex HTTP Request nodes. Use the dedicated Regolo node to chat, generate images, or create embeddings with one click.
- Privacy & Compliance: Keep your automation data flow compliant by using European inference for critical tasks like analyzing customer tickets or processing CVs.
- Full Multimodal Power: Access models like gpt-oss-120b, Llama-3.3, and Qwen-Image directly within your workflow—without managing separate subscriptions.
Prerequisites (Fast)
- Regolo API Key: From your dashboard.
- n8n Installed: Self-hosted (Docker) or Cloud.
- Community Node: n8n-nodes-regoloai installed.
Step-by-Step (Code Blocks)
1) Install n8n (Docker)
If you don’t have n8n running yet, spin it up with a persistent volume.
docker volume create n8n_data
docker run -it --rm --name n8n -p 5678:5678 \
-v n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n \
docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8nCode language: Bash (bash)Expected output: n8n UI accessible at http://localhost:5678
2) Install the Regolo Node
Add the community node to unlock Regolo capabilities.
In your n8n settings (Community Nodes) or terminal:
# If running locally/self-hosted
npm install n8n-nodes-regoloaiCode language: Bash (bash)Expected output: Search for “Regolo” in the n8n nodes panel, and you will see “Regolo.ai”.
3) Authenticate
- Drag the Regolo.ai node onto the canvas.
- In “Credentials”, select Create New.
- Paste your API Key and Base URL (https://api.regolo.ai/v1)
- Expected output: Connection shows “Connected” / green light.
Expected output: Connection shows “Connected” / green light.
4) Build a Reasoning Flow (Chat)
Let’s build a simple email classifier.
- Trigger: Manual Trigger (for testing).
- Action: Regolo.ai -> Resource: Chat -> Operation: Completion.
- Prompt:
Classify this email into: [Urgent, Sales, Spam].
Email content: {{$json.email_body}}Code language: JavaScript (javascript)Expected output: The node outputs a JSON object with the classification, ready to route your workflow.
5) Build an Image Gen Flow
Generate visuals for social media automatically.
- Action: Regolo.ai -> Resource: Image -> Operation: Generate.
- Prompt: “A futuristic cityscape with flying cars, neon lights, 8k render.”
- Model: Qwen-Image (or other available image models).
Expected output: A URL to the generated image that you can pipe into a Slack or Email node.
Production-Ready: RAG with Embeddings
To make your agent smart, use Regolo embeddings to search your own data inside n8n.
- Action: Regolo.ai -> Resource: Embeddings.
- Operation: Create.
- Input: The user’s question.
- Connect: Output vector -> Vector Store Node (Pinecone/Qdrant) -> Retrieve Docs -> Regolo Chat Node.
This pattern allows you to build a full support bot that answers from your knowledge base, entirely within n8n.
