Google Drive and OpenAI integration

This is an end-to-end workflow for creating a simple OpenAI Assistant. The whole process is done with n8n nodes and do not require any programming experience.

The workflow is divided into three main steps:

Step 1: Get a Google Drive File and Upload to OpenAI

• The workflow starts by retrieving a file from Google Drive using the "Get File" node.
• The example file used is a Music Festival document.
• The retrieved file is then uploaded to OpenAI using the "Upload File to OpenAI" node.
• Run this section only once. The file is stored persistently on the OpenAI side.

Step 2: Set Up a New Assistant

• In this step, a new assistant is created using the "Create new Assistant" node.
• The assistant is given a name, description, and system prompt.
• The uploaded file from Step 1 is attached as a knowledge source for the assistant.
• Same as for Step 1, run this section only once.

Step 3: Chat with the Assistant

• The "Chat Trigger" node initiates the conversation with the assistant.
• The "OpenAI Assistant" node handles the conversation, using the assistant created in Step 2.

Step 4: Expand the Assistant

• This step provides resources for ideas on how to expand the Assistant's capabilities:
  • Create a WhatsApp bot
  • Create a simple Telegram bot
  • Create a Telegram AI bot (YouTube video)

By following this workflow, users can create their own AI-powered assistants using OpenAI's API and integrate them with various platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram.
