Creating with AI
If you are just getting started, you do not have to build a scenario manually from scratch. In Latenode you can describe your task in plain text and the AI will assemble the basic chain for you.
The team is continuously integrating AI into the builder to help you get started faster, reach a first working result sooner, and spend less time on repetitive setup.
How it works
- Click Create with AI (or the star icon) when creating a scenario.
- Describe the task in plain words: what triggers the scenario, what it should do, and what result you need.
- AI proposes a structure, adds nodes to the canvas, and fills in some parameters.
- You review the result, complete the authorizations and required fields, then run a test.
Sample prompt to get started
Every day at 9 AM collect AI news via Perplexity and send it to my email [email protected]
AI will typically build a chain like: Schedule → Perplexity AI → Gmail.
The more precise the description, the better the result. Include the services, trigger conditions, response format, and where to send the output.
AI node for targeted API tasks
Create with AI works well for assembling the entire scenario chain.
AI node serves a different purpose: when you already have a scenario but need to quickly add a single API call inside it without manually writing a JavaScript node.
AI node works as a dialog inside the JavaScript node: you describe the request, and the assistant determines the method, URL, headers, and body.
When to use AI node
- You need to call an API that is not among the ready-made integrations
- You have a cURL or a request example you want to turn into a working node quickly
- You need one targeted step in the middle of an already-built scenario
How to use AI node
- Click AI node in the builder's bottom menu.
- Paste a cURL or describe the request in text: where to send it, what data to pass, what to expect in the response.
- Review the generated JavaScript node: method, URL, headers, request body.
- Run the node with Run Once and confirm the output fits the next nodes.
Simple rule of thumb: to build an entire scenario from scratch, start with Create with AI. To add one non-standard API step, use AI node.
If you have a complex architecture with many branches, it is easier to plan first. See: How to plan a scenario.
