Search and ai help need urgent improvement

[Wyeth]

I am training a few mid-level engineers to use n8n and this problem keeps coming up: n8n has one of the worst searches (and AI helpers) Ive used.. which is ironic given this is exactly what you could use n8n to make better.

Look at the following user experience of trying to find a node to “analyze images”:

This fails on all fronts. First, searching for “analyze” and “image” return 0 nodes (even though we know it exists). Second, asking AI for the answer directs you to place the OpenAi node.. which, is no longer a node, nor is analyze image an operation on a node, it is now its own placeable node.

This just happens with everything:
cant find the nodes with the most basic keyword search
the helper ai is using outdated reference materials

Another case in point, the AI frequently suggests using the “function” node:

n8n could be running a workflow that retrains the AI every 24 hours based on:

• forums posts less than 3 months old
• current list of nodes, including community node, shoved into a vector store
• recent discord messages from experts
• downloadable / live workflows to insert (direct link)

It could easily be 10x what typical help systems do. Effective/efficient onboarding is very important.

Somewhat related, when clicking “what happens next” it should filter to Nodes.. letting me pick this tool doesnt make any sense, and clicking it just inserts a bunch of garbage onto my workflow:

Tools should only pop / be the filter when I click on this.. right?
