OpenAI Assistant: Upload File, Create & Chat
No-code n8n workflow to upload Google Drive files to OpenAI, create a custom Assistant with file knowledge, and chat interactively.
This end-to-end n8n workflow simplifies creating and using OpenAI Assistants without programming. It fetches files from Google Drive, uploads them to OpenAI for persistent storage, creates a tailored Assistant with custom instructions and the file as knowledge, and enables real-time chatting via triggers.
Divided into steps: (1) Retrieve and upload a Google Drive file (e.g., a Music Festival doc) to OpenAI—run once. (2) Create the Assistant with name, description, prompt, and attach the file—ru
