Build a Financial Documents Assistant using Qdrant and Mistral.ai

Step 1. Select the target folder [Read more about local file trigger](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.localfiletrigger) In this workflow, we'll monitor a specific folder on disk that n8n has access to. Since we're using docker, we can either use the n8n volume or mount a folder from the host machine. The local file trigger is useful to execute the workflow whenever changes are made to our target folder.
