# Nodes Explained

In this chapter, we aim to provide comprehensive explanations of each type of node.

Click on each node to explore its details and gain insight into our foundational building blocks within the [Conversation Flow ](/digital-agent/conversation-flow.md)application.

We provide an in-depth understanding of each node at a configuration level along with practical recommendations. This chapter serves as a high-level introduction to the primary functions of these nodes, showcasing various usage scenarios. For practical application and a hands-on experience, visit the [Creating Your First P](/digital-agent/building-new-projects.md)[roject](/digital-agent/building-new-projects.md) page.
