* **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'](https://docs.borndigital.ai/digital-agent/conversation-flow/nodes-explained/start-end-nodes), 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.
