Hi. Just found out about n8n. Experienced users, tell me, is it possible to do my task?

I have a database of photos of older laptops and their names, so it is possible to train the AI, but the Internet will be a big plus.

I plan to create a chat in Telegram, where the user will drop his laptop. AI looks, analyzes and gives the model name (for example: Lenovo or Asus), as well as damage (for example: crack on the case on the right).

After that there is communication with the user, perhaps clarification of some details

AI sends a full description (model, behavior, troubleshooting tips, etc.)

And as a final step, if the user confirms, the AI sends the API to the program for ordering components

So whilst not being the most experienced user, I do have a lot of experience with repairing laptops.

Apart from a crack in the screen/ case, how would it ever know what's actually wrong with the system?

For example, if the laptop does not turn on, it might be the charger, battery, screen or other hardware that's broken or maybe even as simple as not being connected.
I think the photo part of your idea is super gimmicky and isn't even needed. Same for training your AI with your database of pictures.

It might be better to just make a system where your LLM has access to your referral link (im assuming this is how its gonna make money) and give it custom instructions to be a laptop repair specialist.

Either way training on your own, assuming very small database or sending it pictures of a lenovo who all have a similar design is going to result in hallucinations. Even if you're only grabbing the laptop model.

It is supposed to determine the cases and their damage only externally. Conventionally: damage to the upper part of the case, damage to the lower part of the case, damage to the matrix, absence of a plug. And also the model of the laptop itself. I also have an archive with a photo and the name of the defect, for training

I see that should mostly be possible, apart that it might be a bit inaccurate. May I ask why are you trying to AI for this? Another issue is that you would need pictures from like 4 angles.

Maybe a crazy idea but all those things you can do with checkboxes in a form submission (apart from the model, for which you can create a field)? Then give these results to AI for relevant components

So a possible (extremely simplified) workflow would look like

User start chat

LLM sends form

LLM processes form for relevant components

User receives hyperlink with components

@floral trail Sounds like an interesting project, that is actually doable and for that we can build ai agent with n8n integrates with vector databases.

Creating fields for uploading certain photos and text is insanely cool, but you have to keep in mind that I'm trying to do it for people of a completely different kind. Such as old people. It is much more convenient for them, for example, to write a voice message with a photo or even a video in tg so that the bot processes and then sends the result)
