As you guys know, last week I participated in the first ever AI Agent Game Show called The Agentic Arena, where Jack Roberts and I had to build AI automations that were evaluated by AI. So I thought it would be a great idea to make a video about how n8n's evaluation feature actually works. In this video, I break down n8n’s evaluation feature and show you why it’s such a powerful tool for your automations. Evaluation gives you objective proof of whether the changes you’re making are actually improving your workflow—or if they might be making things worse. Without evaluation, you’d never really know for sure. I’ll walk through what evaluation is, why it matters, and demonstrate a few real-world examples of how easy it is to use. The best part is you don’t need to write any code to take advantage of it. If you’re building AI automations, evaluation is the missing piece that can take your workflows to the next level. By the end of this video, you’ll see just how simple and powerful it is to start applying evaluation in n8n. All of the Google Sheet templates and Google Doc files that you'll need to test out these evaluation flows are linked in the workflows themselves.

🧑‍💻 Ultimate Personal Assistant Your All-in-One AI + Automation Agent, Powered by n8n This is my personal assistant. As such I will be updating this assistant at least once a month adding more tools to it and more workflows to it. 🌟 Overview The Ultimate Personal Assistant is a complete AI-powered automation system built in n8n.It connects your daily tools — email, calendar, contacts, tasks, weather, and more — with the intelligence of local AI models. Think of it as your digital co-pilot: it reads, remembers, and acts across all your apps, while staying under your control. ⚡ Features - 📧 Email Agent – Reads, drafts, labels, and replies to emails. - 📅 Calendar Agent – Creates, updates, or deletes events, even with attendees. - 👤 Contact Agent – Manages contacts by creating, updating, or fetching details. - ✅ Tasks Agent – Handles to-do items: create, update, and delete tasks. - 🌦 Weather Agent – Provides real-time weather updates. - 🔎 Search Agent – Fetches live information from the web. - 🧠 Memory – Persistent memory using Postgres + Zep, so it remembers context and past conversations. - 🤖 AI Agents – Powered by Ollama local models with reasoning and decision-making logic. 🛠 Tech Stack - Core Workflow Orchestration → n8n - Memory Layer → Postgres + Zep - AI Models → Ollama (local LLMs) - Tools → Weather API, Search API, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Google Contacts - Messaging → Telegram integration for live assistant interaction 🚀 How It Works 1. Triggers – You can start a conversation with the assistant through Telegram or data events. 2. AI Agent – Your query is passed to an AI agent (Ollama model) with memory. 3. Routing – The AI decides which specialized agent (email, calendar, tasks, etc.) should act. 4. Action – The agent executes the request (send email, create event, fetch weather, etc.). 5. Feedback Loop – Results are saved to memory and returned to you in real-time. 📸 Example Use Cases - “Schedule a meeting with Alice tomorrow at 2 PM.” → Calendar Agent creates the event. - “Remind me to pay bills on Friday.” → Tasks Agent adds the reminder. - “What’s the weather in New York today?” → Weather Agent responds instantly. - “Reply to John’s email with: Thanks, I’ll get back to you.” → Email Agent drafts and sends. - “Add Bob to my contacts with phone number 555-1234.” → Contact Agent saves it.

Yesterday we wrapped up filming the first ever Agentic Arena in NYC. An AI agent building competition between me and the legendary Jack Roberts… It will premiere on YouTube on September 5th at 3pm EST, make sure to tune in!! We’ll have to see if I was able to bring it home for the AIS family!! 😬 Cheers, Nate

In this video, I break down four real client projects we sold this year, what each agent did, why it was valuable, and exactly how I priced and closed them. You’ll also get a 7-step roadmap you can follow to start selling your own AI agents, avoid the traps I hit early on, and position yourself as a strategic partner instead of just a freelancer.
