The idea is:
To add an “AI generation” button (similar to the one available for the “File Content” field) to the “File Name” field within the Google Drive node when the “Operation” is set to “Create From Text”. This would allow users to leverage AI to dynamically generate or suggest file names.
My use case:
When I’m automating the creation of multiple files in Google Drive where the file content itself is generated or processed by AI, I often need to create relevant file names. For instance, if I’m generating summaries of articles or reports, I’d like the AI to suggest a concise and descriptive file name based on the generated content. Currently, I have to manually devise a naming convention or use complex expressions. Having an AI-assisted file name generation directly in the node would streamline this process significantly.
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
This feature would solve several problems and offer significant benefits:
- Time Savings: Automating file name generation with AI would save users the manual effort of naming each file, especially in workflows that create many files.
- Improved Naming Consistency: AI could be guided to generate file names that follow a consistent pattern or are contextually relevant to the file content, improving organization.
- Enhanced Automation: It allows for more sophisticated automation where file names are intelligently derived from the data being processed without requiring complex manual setup of naming logic.
- User Experience Parity: The “File Content” field already has an AI generation capability. Adding this to “File Name” would create a more consistent and intuitive user experience within the Google Drive node.
- Reduced Complexity: Users wouldn’t need to write custom code or complex expressions in a separate node to generate file names if this capability were built-in.
Any resources to support this?
The provided image clearly illustrates the current state of the Google Drive node in n8n. It shows the “File Content” field with an AI generation button (sparkle icon), while the “File Name” field directly below it lacks this feature. This visual evidence supports the request for feature parity and enhanced AI integration.
Are you willing to work on this?
Not currently.
