In this video, we show you how to use n8n, an open-source visual workflow automation tool that’s quickly becoming the go-to alternative to Zapier in the AI era. Because instead of writing code, n8n lets you drag and drop nodes to connect apps, services, and APIs, making it easy to automate complex workflows across marketing, tech, or personal use cases.

We’ll start with the basics… what n8n is, how workflows work, and how you can set up your own automation server on Hostinger for unlimited workflows at a fraction of the cost of cloud solutions. From there, you’ll learn step by step how to build a simple workflow, followed by a more advanced one that integrates Telegram, Google Calendar, and AI agents to automatically schedule meetings.

Then, we’ll also go beyond just theory. Debugging errors, working with JSON templates, setting up APIs, and showing you exactly how automation plays out in real time. You’ll also see how to bring in AI decision-making with models like Google Gemini, and how to handle both text and voice inputs in your automations.

Finally, we’ll explore a second, more creative workflow: using n8n to turn Reddit posts into fully automated AI-generated videos with avatars, voiceovers, and auto-publishing pipelines.

Watch the video till the end to understand everything you need to start building your own workflows and running parts of your life or business on autopilot.
