Breakdown Documents into Study Notes using Templating MistralAI and Qdrant

Step 1. Watch Folder and Import New Documents [Read more about Local File Trigger](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.localfiletrigger) With n8n's local file trigger, we're able to trigger the workflow when files are created in our target folder. We still have to import them however as the trigger will only give the file's path. The "Extract From" node is used to get at the file's contents.
