Something pretty exciting just released from Google that I think you need to know about. They just released Genkit Go 1.0 - and before you think "oh great, another coding thing I can't use," hear me out. This could be the missing piece that takes your n8n automations from cool hobby projects to serious money-making businesses. What Is This Thing Anyway? Think of Genkit as a super-powered toolkit that makes building AI apps way easier. You know how n8n makes connecting different services simple with those drag-and-drop nodes? Genkit does something similar but for AI stuff - it connects different AI models (like ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, Claude) and makes them work together smoothly. The coolest part? It now has something called "AI-assisted development" where AI helpers can actually write code FOR you. Imagine having ChatGPT not just answer questions, but actually build entire applications based on what you describe. Why Should You Care as an n8n User? Here's the thing - you're already automating workflows and connecting APIs. You understand how powerful it is when different tools talk to each other. Genkit basically does that same magic but adds AI superpowers on top. For enhancing what you have now: - Your existing n8n workflows could trigger AI-powered analysis - Customer support bots could get way smarter - Data processing workflows could include AI insights - Content creation pipelines could become fully automated For building new businesses: - Custom AI tools for specific industries - AI-powered dashboards and reporting tools - Smart automation services for clients - AI consultants that work 24/7 The Business Opportunity Here Is Huge Think about it - most businesses are still figuring out how to use AI. They know they need it, but they don't know how to build it or make it work with their existing systems. That's where you come in. You already understand automation and workflow design. Now imagine being able to offer clients: - Custom AI chatbots that actually understand their business
