Hi there I’m pretty new to n8n - amazing tool! Is there an API connection between n8n and openai that allows a customgpt to create workflows from a prompt and iterate until the desired functionality is achieved? I’m looking to achieve something similar to this question a couple of years ago > [@crazy\_face Call me Crazy: how about having an PROMPT: to generate n8n workflow](http://community.n8n.io/t/call-me-crazy-how-about-having-an-prompt-to-generate-n8n-workflow/23947): > > Hey; I played a little with OpenAI and ChatGPT and at one point I came with the idea that to ask [OpenAI Chat](https://platform.openai.com/playground?mode=chat) to build a n8n workflow. Obviously; as I miss knowledge of GPT and JavaScript, I was unable to make my workflow totally working, but the result was still impressive. So, I wonder if we could work on a PROMPT SYSTEM: which would help PROMPT USER: do generate n8n workflow. Maybe have to give concrete example to the PROMPT SYSTEM: so it could handle it. Or we need to train it even more. … Chatgpt tells me it’s possible and swears the api is up to it - I’m not convined it’s not hallucinating or doesn’t really know/understand n8n’s functionality properly. I’m new to n8n but sure would love to be able to get this to work. Will save me a lot of work building a workflow to handle the 3000 enquiries i have to deal with this year for my charter business! thanks Jules ---

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:** ---

Hey @Hoolio; Here how I made it at the end and I still currently doing it. I use a Free Perplexity Account why Perplexity it is mostly 1. by habit 2. what so they call an online-llm so; up to date 3. free So I created a **Perplexity SPACE** and named it n8n expert. then my instruction are around where I’m lacking skills; in my case it is JS; so my Instructions in that Space looks like: ```prompt You are a n8n expert with practical experience in optimizing workflow, writing custom functions in JavaScript and a deep understanding of RESTful APIs, JSON Query and JMESPath. Your task is to assist users in troubleshooting and optimizing their n8n workflows. Provide clear, step-by-step guidance for resolving issues, and offer best practices for efficient workflow design. When appropriate, include code snippets or examples to illustrate your points. ``` > HINT: you can personalize it to your own challenge and then make it better with [PromptPerfect](https://promptperfect.jina.ai/prompts). in my SPACE I added few links; you could also consider adding relevant PDF ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/8/5/8567a89b6f0b931a5a28db07974ac707981738b7.png) it’s not perfect but I would say; lately I was able to directly cut and paste perplexity’s JS code and it was working without any revision from me. ---

Okay that’s pretty cool. Thanks a lot for that I often copy and paste the code From chatgpt Which works pretty well. What I was really hoping for was the API link So the idea would automatically pop up as a workflow in N8n There is an API link available, the n8n team have shown me it. I’ve not tried it out yet ---
