2 160 / 5 000 n8n/gpts/ can you tell me what you think of my ideas

Questions
1

hello excuse me I am French and to translate my message I use google translate but I think the translation is very bad?
I believe chatgpt also uses Google Translate as these translations are similar

first of all could you explain to me how nodes work on n8n
I mean the tutorials the YouTubers do not explain why, do not make a comparison, so that I can understand why using this or that does not

when I go to the n8n site there are only a few words to explain each of the nodes but no precise explanation so will you explain to me

and the same for workflows, I mean on the site, there are plenty of examples of workflows but once again the explanations are very few

and to finish with n8n, there are dedicated GPTs,
I make a prompt in which I give my ideas and I ask this GPT to create a workflow for me and it gives me a long code but I don’t know how to do it because I don’t know anything about code
Could you also help me on this?

  1. could you explain to me how gpts creation works (I mean database and actions)

To try to understand how the knowledge base and actions work when I create a GPT I would like to try to understand with some examples

If I want to take a chess course thanks to chatgpt, can you explain to me why I should create a small database of 10 PDFs for him when I can ask him to fetch the information on the web and there it will have a bigger database made up of 100 billion pieces of data

(the database must consist only of PDF? I cannot make a database consisting of a Google sheet or Excel or other sheet which contains Youtube URL tutorial links?)

And regarding the actions, again can you explain to me what the purpose of doing an action will be?

THANKS

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @chrisder54! I appreciate your willingness to reach out and ask questions.

It sounds like you’re just at the start of your journey learning how to use n8n and what it’s about.

Any “n8n GPTs” that are not offered by n8n directly are not supported officially and we cannot guarantee the quality of any workflow generated by them. We do not recommend using them as our product is updated regularly and the GPTs would be based on outdated information.

n8n is a low-code integration platform with a visual editor that can be used to connect tools you use together to support business processes you might have. n8n might not be the solution for you if you are looking to build a game of chess, for example.

The fastest way to learn about the product is to experiment, so I encourage you to start with our introductory course to n8n!

Yes I came to the forum to find out if there are people who could help me understand and correct me
