AI workflow builder assistant feature request

Hello Community,

What do you think about an AI assistant builder ?
That you describe what you want to build and the model gives you pre-prod workflow.

You can use GPT4 for this. It covers most of the basics, you just have to recreate it yourself

We all like the idea of using AI to make things easier and I think we have a couple of ideas floating around internally already…

Personally I think if we do anything it should be done right and not something to just jump on the “we have AI” train.

While OpenAI / GPT is amazing at the results it still isn’t perfect so whatever we do we would have to involve our own models as well.

Hey guys, any updates on the topic? I’m currently trying to find an effective AI workflow solution, but still to no avail.

I’m glad to see this topic is interesting to others as well. I think this can be achieved currently with some clever combination of automation and effective prompts. GPT does a decent job of either being creative or editing, but not both simultaneously - much like we humans. I find great results parsing those tasks to two different prompts: one to get the creative, a second for it to check its work/syntax/etc. That has helped a lot, albeit it uses more tokens.

Since a workflow is basically a JSON object, one could prompt the LLM to output a workflow as a JSON object, then a second prompt to validate syntax.

I wonder if anyone is training a LLM on n8n workflow JSON objects…

Any movement here, there are a few startups popping up that have ai assistant builders to build out nodes and while they are early they are super useful. Would love to see something like this in N8n. You guys surely have way more data to train on

Hey, I tried to do an MVP with a simple approach which appears still too complicated for me given my starter level in n8n and 0 level in code

  • rag on all n8n documentation
  • rag on all n8n templates
  • search agent on community per tags & ‘solution’ flagged.
    Certainly unperfect but probably much better than the GPTs I tested in n8n…

NB @Jon: maybe this could start with a :bulb:some common painful feature like “Creating forms”: multi step, conditional on options from google sheet etc…

What’s the status on this?

There are external tools in the making, aiming to fill the gap btw
