E-commerce Product Fine-Tuning With Bright Data and OpenAI

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.

This workflow automates the process of scraping product data from e-commerce websites and using it to fine-tune a custom OpenAI GPT model for generating high-quality marketing copy and product descriptions.

Main Use Cases

Fine-tune OpenAI models with real product data from hundreds of supported e-commerce websites for marketing content generation. Create custom AI models specialized in writing compelling product descriptions across different industries and platforms. Automate the entire pipeline from data collection to model training using Bright Data's extensive scraper library. Generate marketing copy using your custom-trained model via an interactive chat interface.

How it works

The workflow operates in two main phases: model training and model usage, organized into these stages:

Data Collection & Processing Manually triggered to start the fine-tuning process. Uses Bright Data's web scraper to extract product information from any supported e-commerce platform (Amazon, eBay, Shopify stores, Walmart, Target, and hundreds of other websites). Collects product titles, brands, features, descriptions, ratings, and availability status from your chosen platform. Easily customizable to scrape from different websites by simply changing the dataset configuration and product URLs.

Training Data Preparation A Code node processes the scraped product data to create training examples in OpenAI's required JSONL format. For each product, generates a complete training example with: System message defining the AI's role as a marketing assistant. User prompt containing specific product details (title, brand, features, original description snippet). Assistant response providing an ideal marketing description template. Compiles all training examples into a single JSONL file ready for OpenAI fine-tuning.

Model Fine-Tuning Uploads the training file to OpenAI using the OpenAI File Upload node. Initiates a fine-tuning job via HTTP Request to OpenAI's fine-tuning API using the GPT-4o-mini model as the base. The fine-tuning process runs on OpenAI's servers to create your custom model.

Interactive Chat Interface Provides a chat trigger that allows real-time interaction with your fine-tuned model. An AI Agent node connects to your custom-trained OpenAI model. Users can chat with the model to generate product descriptions, marketing copy, or other content based on the training.

Custom Model Integration The OpenAI Chat Model node is configured to use your specific fine-tuned model ID. Delivers responses trained on your product data for consistent, high-quality marketing content.

Summary Flow:

Manual Trigger → Scrape E-commerce Products (Bright Data) → Process & Format Training Data (Code) → Upload Training File (OpenAI) → Start Fine-Tuning Job (HTTP Request) | Parallel: Chat Trigger → AI Agent → Custom Fine-Tuned Model Response
