So, today, I unlocked LEVEL 3. In the coming weeks, I will first start with my very own local installation of N8N, more tutorials, then take on/attempt the 7 Day AIS Challenge, then take on/attempt the Build Your AI OS module. I was thinking first of slowly making my own Personal Assistant. I have a very tall marching order for the remainder of the year. AI Automation should have been built decades ago, this is exciting and scary for me (what if I fail). But the excitement greatly outweighs the fears.

Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a career goal you have, and something you like to do for fun. 😊

This is your n8n Cheat Sheet for 2026 (Attached in this post) In this video I break down the 17 core n8n nodes that I use in almost every automation I build. After creating more than 200 workflows for real clients, my own AI automation business, and even for YouTube videos, these are the nodes that consistently show up across every use case. I walk through each node with real examples and explain why mastering this short list gives you the power to build almost anything in n8n. If you learn these 17, you can move fast, build confidently, and handle almost any automation project you run into.

I've spent over 500 hours inside Claude's ecosystem, so I ranked every feature from D tier all the way up to S tier based on how much each one actually changes my day-to-day knowledge work and automation. Then I walk through my top 12 in order and explain exactly why each one earned its spot. Keep in mind I'm doing a lot of automation and knowledge work, not heavy software engineering, so you'll probably disagree with some of my placements. That's the point, you value these features differently based on how you use Claude Code.
