Cache n8n in your knowledge base assistant with Crowkis

Building knowledge base assistants on n8n? Add a semantic cache so the same lookups across a team all day stop costing full price.

Knowledge base assistants built on n8n share one problem: the same lookups across a team all day. Each repeat is a full-price n8n call for an answer you already have.

Put a semantic cache in front. Point n8n's base URL at the Crowkis OpenAI-compatible gateway, or wrap the call in get-or-compute, and reworded repeats are served from cache, no rewrite of your knowledge base assistants logic.

n8n + Crowkis
base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:6380/v1"   # Crowkis gateway, semantic cache in front
In plain words: The knowledge base assistants keep working exactly as before; the repeats just stop hitting the model.

On repetitive traffic this cuts costs up to 60-70% on repetitive workloads, and every hit carries a confidence score so reuse stays safe. Drop it in over RESP, gRPC, REST, or MCP, no rewrite required.
