Preview the end result: a working n8n automation with AI Agents, tools, and real integrations.
Discover how n8n is redefining what’s possible with AI Agents and no-code automation. We’ll explore real-world examples where AI connects with tools, APIs, and data to create intelligent, self-operating workflows. You’ll see why this combination is driving the next wave of productivity and innovation. Next, we’ll break down the exact components every AI Agent in n8n needs to function effectively.
In this lecture, you’ll learn the essential building blocks every AI Agent needs inside n8n. We’ll break down the agent’s brain, memory, and tools, and see exactly how they work together in a no-code workflow. You’ll understand how to design reliable, repeatable n8n automations that perform consistently in real-world situations. Next, we’ll put these concepts into action by building your first AI Agent without writing a single line of code.
Create AI Agents in n8n without code. Connect models, apps, and logic visually.
This lecture compares the pros and cons of running n8n in the cloud versus hosting it yourself. We’ll cover costs, setup complexity, scalability, and control — so you can choose the best setup for your projects. You’ll also learn how hosting decisions affect your AI Agent’s performance and flexibility. Next, we’ll walk through setting up your own n8n Cloud account so you can start building right away.
Get your n8n Cloud workspace up and running in minutes. We’ll guide you through creating your account, configuring your workspace, and preparing your environment for automation building. By the end, you’ll be ready to start designing workflows and integrating AI models. Next, we’ll dive into the n8n fundamentals so you can confidently build from scratch.
Master the core features of n8n: workflows, triggers, nodes, and expressions. You’ll see how each piece works and how to combine them to create powerful automation flows. This foundation will make every future AI Agent you build faster, smarter, and more reliable. Next, we’ll jump into your first hands-on n8n automation project.
We’ll build your first n8n automation from the ground up. You’ll learn how to trigger actions, process data, and connect multiple apps — creating a working workflow you can use immediately. This project will give you the confidence to design more complex automations. Next, we’ll see how you can save time by using n8n templates.
Discover how to find, import, and customize pre-made n8n templates. We’ll cover where to get them, how to adapt them for your needs, and how to integrate them with AI Agents. This will help you jumpstart new workflows without reinventing the wheel. Next, we’ll explore a real-world project analyzing Reddit trends with AI.
Learn how to use n8n with AI models to pull, process, and summarize Reddit content. We’ll automate trend analysis and deliver reports directly to your inbox or chat apps. This shows the power of combining AI with public data sources. Next, we’ll take your automation skills further by modifying or even generating new n8n nodes.
We’ll explore how to enhance existing workflows by modifying n8n nodes — and even generating new ones with AI assistance. This opens the door to custom functionality tailored to your needs. You’ll see how small changes can make a big difference in results. Next, we’ll integrate Notion into your n8n workflows to centralize your outputs.
Connect n8n with Notion to store AI-generated summaries, task lists, and reports. We’ll automate the process so information flows seamlessly into your workspace. This integration is perfect for teams, content creators, and researchers. Next, we’ll move into the Master Project where we’ll combine everything into a complete AI Agent system built from scratch.
Get an overview of the complete n8n + AI Agent system you’ll build. This project will automate daily planning using calendar events, weather forecasts, and web searches. You’ll see the big picture before we dive into the details. Next, we’ll prepare test data for Google Calendar so we can start building.
Create sample events for Google Calendar to test your workflow. We’ll ensure your n8n automation has realistic input data for building and troubleshooting. This step keeps our testing consistent and repeatable. Next, we’ll add the trigger node to start our workflow.
Learn how to start your n8n workflow with the right trigger — whether it’s manual for testing or scheduled for production use. This is where your AI Agent’s automation begins. Next, we’ll connect the AI Agent node to give your workflow a brain.
Add the AI Agent node to your n8n workflow and connect it to an LLM. You’ll configure memory and define the agent’s abilities to respond intelligently. Next, we’ll experiment with changing the AI Agent’s brain by using another LLM like Gemini.
Swap your AI Agent’s brain from one model to another and compare outputs. We’ll see how different LLMs handle the same task inside n8n. Next, we’ll integrate Google Calendar so your agent can work with real scheduling data.
Pull live event data from Google Calendar into your n8n workflow. Your AI Agent will process this information and include it in daily summaries. Next, we’ll give the agent access to date and time inside n8n for even better context.
Use n8n expressions to pass date and time into your AI Agent’s context. This makes its responses more relevant and accurate. Next, we’ll enrich the workflow with live weather data.
Bring weather data into n8n so your AI Agent can tailor plans to current conditions. Next, we’ll enable web search capabilities with SerpAPI for real-time knowledge.
Integrate SerpAPI into your n8n workflow to allow real-time web searches. Your AI Agent will be able to pull up-to-date information on demand. Next, we’ll send the agent’s reports by email.
Send automated daily summaries via Gmail directly from your n8n workflow. This ensures your AI Agent’s insights reach you wherever you are. Next, we’ll add Telegram for instant notifications.
Send instant updates from n8n to your phone using Telegram. This is perfect for real-time alerts and summaries from your AI Agent. Next, we’ll fully automate the workflow so it runs without your input.
Schedule, test, and activate your n8n + AI Agent system. From here, it will run hands-free — giving you daily insights automatically.
