# START / END nodes
Without them, errors may occur in the code editor, hindering the training process.
* **Starting Node:** This is the initial node visible when starting a new blank project. Quite straightforward, this node serves as the entry point for conversations with your chatbot or voicebot. Creating a message node after the start automatically generates a target node associated with it.
* **End Node:** In a brief explanation, the end node functions as a fallback mechanism. For instance, when the customer doesn't respond with a "yes," it triggers the end of the conversation. This example illustrates a simple usage and flow towards the conclusion. Multiple end nodes can be established to conclude conversation logic as needed.

To create an[ 'End node'](/digital-agent/conversation-flow/nodes-explained/start-end-nodes.md), you can simply drag it from the nodes panel located on the right side of the interface. It's important to note that within a project, there is only one starting node, which acts as the singular point of conversation initiation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.borndigital.ai/digital-agent/conversation-flow/nodes-explained/start-end-nodes.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
