Just wanted to say thank you to every for joining this community! Feels like it was only a few weeks ago I was excited to see more than 10. Welcome to all the recent members and thanks to the regulars who have been dropping likes, comments and questions. Plenty more workflows, AI, and builds to come, including things that can't be on YouTube. But keep the feedback coming. It's still early days so let me know how to improve this community. Drop a comment below if you have any ideas or message me directly. Looking forward to 400 more! 🎉

With Nano Banana now available on Openrouter, it makes even easier to create a quick workflow that can edit images on the fly. This time I dive a little deeper into the text-to-edit capabilities of Nano Banana, showing how easily it create something that you'd spend a few minutes editing in Canva, dragging in assets, moving font, changing colors, adding shadows. Instead this flow can generate it for you in one command, and be easily modified to create variations on the fly on a schedule. It uses an HTTP Request node to call Openrouter so the url is below and the JSON body and full workflow are also attached. Let me know if you have any questions or what else you'd like to see!

Thinking about vibe-coding a website example in a future video to use with n8n automations, but I'm curious how much interest there is in vibe-coding? OpenAI dropped an upgrade to their codex model and tools claiming to make CLI and cloud-based agentic coding even better with GPT. Google's Gemini might still be the best coding model and I've been hearing great things about Gemini CLI . And of course, Claude Code established the CLI space from the start so there's a very dedicated following with those tools. Otherwise you've got the Cursor, Trae, Cline, Windsurf and a number of other IDEs for vibe coding as well which has been my go-to lately. But as part of "Learning Automation and AI" how much interesting is there in the AI coding part? Been sticking with n8n but I'd be curious to see if that's what people want to stick with. Would you rather focus on purely n8n or branch into some AI coding as well? Or any other ideas? Let me know!

One of the best ways to stay consistent is having others to keep you accountable. It's something this community does for me already but I still have room for improvement. If you want to join me, I'd like to try out Accountability Posts. Super simple: 1. State your goal (daily, weekly, or monthly — up to you). 2. Post updates regularly (what you did, what you learned, or even what you struggled with). 3. Encourage others — a quick 👍 or comment goes a long way. I’ll be posting my own updates here too. I have a running goal of at least one YouTube upload per week so that's still pending. If you're interested in joining, drop your first goal below ⬇️

I'm sure some of you are here to make money off of selling automations and I'm brushing up on that skill myself to be honest. My background is the corporate world so I'm still learning the selling side of things. With that, I'm new to the Upwork game as well but I had a recent win. Last week I finally committed to sending Upwork proposals and got lucky right out of the gate. I replied to a post looking for help with Monday.com and I submitted a low-ball offer to help. I saw a post from another community that highlighted being "Top Rated" seemed to increase view rates so I figured I would prioritize getting 5 stars over landing big paychecks. But after jumping on a call with the Upwork contact and helping him out, he pretty quickly mentioned that he had many other automations he'd like to build. So I took the opportunity to use the advice I'd gotten in another community and pitched an upsell. Turn $35/hr into a $500 monthly retainer. I'll take that as a win. Plus the guy seems super cool to work with. Here's the Loom I included in offer if it's at all helpful: https://www.loom.com/share/e0ae9b3b409c46d4a9fd338aefdb1189 Couple caveats here. I am heavily relying on a long work history and being able to flex professional CRM experience, but I think overall the strategy is viable. Be willing to start low and work your way up. Include a Loom to show you're a friendly human. Quote from Mark Cuban that's stuck with me: “One of the most underrated skills in business is being nice.” Small n8n offers and being nice can lead to big contracts if that's your goal. Happy to answer any questions but just wanted to post a win and pass on some help and inspiration. Best of luck learning and selling automations! Keep at it!
