Basic Concepts
To use CodeFreeAI, there are two key concepts you need to know: Nodes and Workflows.
Nodes and Workflows
𧱠Node = Lego Block
A node is a component that handles a single 'task'. Think of it as a single Lego block. Each node has a specific job it can do.
- Trigger Node: The button that orders "Start!"
- AI Node: The AI that writes text or draws pictures.
- Output Node: The courier that delivers the results to other places (Telegram, Email, etc.).
π Workflow = Assembled Masterpiece
It is a complete program made by connecting multiple nodes with lines. As the nodes operate in sequence, they perform the automation task we want.
Example: AI Chatbot Workflow
- (Start) User inputs a question
- (AI) AI thinks about the question and writes an answer
- (End) Show the answer to the user
When these 3 steps are connected by lines, a single 'Chatbot Workflow' is completed.
Marketplace and Templates
ποΈ Marketplace
It is a store where you can browse and get cool workflows made by others. You don't have to build from scratch; you can find well-made workflows and use them right away.
π Template
Each pre-made workflow uploaded to the marketplace is called a 'Template'. If you copy a template and modify it slightly to your taste, it immediately becomes your own automation tool.
- LLM Prototyping Template
- Telegram Chatbot Template
- News Summary Template
Now, let's learn more about what nodes are available in the Core Guides.
