Hey guys 👋, I hope you're all doing great! My name is Paul, and I'm planning to start an AI agency in the real estate niche 🏡🤖. I just wanted to ask if there are any other agencies here working in the same niche! If so, let's connect 🙌

So the question is n8n versus make.com? Which one is better,? They both have their ups and they both have their downs. I’m looking for some personal and professional opinions of how you feel about each program. N8N in my opinion, builds agents better and easier and I feel can do more. Make.com seems to be easier to be working with all the way across but more difficult in building out agents. I like using both platforms and both have their strong points and both have their weaknesses. The other thing that I look at with them is their cost. Self hosting with NAN is great. Don’t get me wrong. It is awesome. I do find a bit of a nuance with the self hosting and that it is something else in addition that I have to keep up with. make.com on the other hand is not self hosted, but is cloud and again building agents are a little more difficult n8n and cost wise make.com is not bad. The other thing is with NAN doing the cloud posting versus self hosting $25 a month for 2500 actual workflow usage is phenomenal. You’re not being charged for each node that is being used in a workflow. But how many times the work flows are triggered. Meaning you can have one workflow and it can run 2500 times for the $25 a month. The big question is what is everybody else’s take an opinion on this matter? I know everybody prefers make over N8N or N8N over make just looking for valued opinions and discussion

If you’re building RAG agents in n8n, this is one of the most important tutorials you’ll ever watch. In this step-by-step video, I’ll show you how to build a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline completely with no code. This setup automatically keeps your database synced with your source files, so when you update or delete a file, your database updates too. That means your AI agents always search through accurate, trustworthy data instead of outdated information. Without this system in place, you can’t rely on your AI’s answers at all. By the end of this video, you’ll understand exactly how to connect everything inside n8n, Google Drive, and Supabase, even if you’re a complete beginner.

I’ve been getting this question a lot lately. With AI automations becoming easier to build with AI, and OpenAI releasing AgentKit, people are wondering if n8n is even worth learning anymore. But here’s the truth: if I had to start all over again knowing nothing, I’d still learn everything I could about n8n. Because when you learn n8n, you’re not just learning one tool, you’re learning how systems think. You start to see how triggers connect, how data flows, and how logic turns into results. And once you understand that, you can jump to any platform in the world and master it instantly. You become tool-agnostic, and that’s where the real freedom lies. When you learn how to build workflows yourself, you also learn lessons that can’t be taught through flashy AI demos. You start to see what automations can really do, how reliable AI actually is, and what’s possible when you combine logic with creativity. You learn how to build systems that save time, cut costs, and actually work in the real world, not just on paper. That skill separates you from everyone else trying to sell the same thing. Because when clients hire you, they’re not hiring you to drag nodes on a screen, they’re hiring you to think like an automator. They want someone who understands the logic behind the system, can identify what’s going wrong, and knows how to make it better. The people who skip this step, the ones relying entirely on “AI agents that build workflows for you”, are like someone trying to sell a cake after only seeing a picture of it. They don’t know the ingredients, how it was baked, or even the flavor. So when they try to explain it to others, they sound the same as everyone else. But when you’ve actually baked the cake yourself, you can describe the flavor, the texture, the process, and that builds trust. And in this space, trust is everything. Automation is one of the few skills in the world that directly compounds over time. Once you know how to identify bottlenecks, map processes, and connect systems, you can apply that skill to any business or industry. And the ROI is real, recent studies by Deloitte and McKinsey show companies that invest in automation see up to a 30% reduction in operating costs and often double or triple their productivity within months. The people who understand how to build and maintain these systems are the ones leading that transformation.
