What you'll learn

The future of work is automated, and n8n gives you the ability to make powerful AI agents and automations. In this course, you’ll learn to build AI agents that plan, act, and report using a friendly, visual workflow builder. No code needed.

We start with the foundations: what agents are, how they think, and the core components every system needs. Then we get hands-on. You’ll wire up OpenAI or Gemini, use n8n triggers and nodes, and connect real tools like Google Calendar, Gmail, Notion, Reddit, and Telegram.

You’ll enrich your agents with context, such as weather via OpenWeatherMap, live search via SerpAPI, and robust scheduling. Finally, you’ll deploy and automate the whole pipeline so it runs reliably on a schedule or event. By the end, you’ll have job-ready AI agent and automation skills.

Why Build AI Agents with n8n?

n8n hits a rare balance: you get no-code speed with dev-level control.

The visual editor lets you ship AI agents quickly, while expressions, branching, and error handling give you precision when things get real.

Plus it’s AI-native out of the box, meaning you can just plug-in leading AI models from companies like OpenAI or Google, add context and memory, chain tools like web search and weather, and connect the apps you already use (Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Reddit, Telegram) without code.

But n8n isn't only built to be beginner-friendly...it also lets experienced developers create real, enterprise-level AI agents and automations. You can run on n8n Cloud for convenience or self-host to control data and cost. Debugging is transparent, allowing you to inspect payloads and fix issues fast. As needs grow, add retries, logging, and schedules so agents act at the right moment. Because n8n is vendor-neutral and extensible, you can swap LLMs, modify or create nodes, and evolve workflows without rewriting your stack, making it perfect for turning AI ideas into reliable, real-world results.
