Yesterday I finished my second AI workshop at Georgia Tech. This session was focused on learning how to use the AI agent and workflow tool n8n. The person leading the session has built a sophisticated e-commerce company that’s automated on the n8n platform, so he was very knowledgeable.

n8n reminds me of workflow and conditional logic tools I’ve used in the past, but it’s way more powerful. The ability to connect it to foundational models like those from OpenAI (ChatGPT’s parent company) is huge. Last night, we linked our n8n workflow to OpenAI models via API, connected our n8n workflow to Telegram so we can give it written instructions, and built an OpenClaw-type setup in n8n.

Working with these tools hands-on with other people who are motivated to learn them makes for a wonderful environment. I met several great people last night, and I’m looking forward to the next session.
