About This Workflow
Overview
This n8n workflow leverages OpenAI's Assistant API to create a specialized AI assistant powered by your own documents. It starts by retrieving a file from Google Drive, then uploads it to OpenAI to be used as a knowledge source. A new Assistant is created with specific instructions and the uploaded file. Finally, it sets up a webhook trigger for users to chat with this custom assistant.
This workflow is ideal for creating customer support bots, internal knowledge bases, or specialized Q&A systems without requiring extensive coding.
