AI Agent Building in n8n: Beginner’s Guide to Automation and Workflows
AI Foundations' beginner guide to n8n: what n8n and agents are, the interface and node types, mapping data between nodes, building a scheduled weather-report automation with an HTTP request, a code node and Gmail, then turning it into an AI agent with a chat model, memory and tools.
What you'll learn
- Explain automations versus AI agents
- Navigate n8n and its node types
- Map data dynamically between nodes
- Build a weather automation with HTTP, code and Gmail nodes
- Build an AI agent with a chat model and memory
- Give the agent tools and let the model decide parameters
