I built a custom integration that lets n8n's AI Workflow Builder use Claude models (Sonnet 4.5, Opus 4.5) without paying per-token API costs. It's working. And it changes everything about how I build automations now. --- 🎬 Watch the Demo (Video Above) In this video, you'll see me: - Configure the connection in n8n's settings - Select my AI model - Generate workflows with Claude — completely free No API key billing. No usage anxiety. Just pure building. --- 📖 Why I Built This When you're designing AI workflows, the real work is iteration: - Test a prompt → tweak it → test again - Add a node → see if the AI gets it - Refine → regenerate → compare results With pay-per-token billing, there's always that voice in your head: "Is this test worth it?" That friction kills creativity. I wanted to remove it completely. --- ✅ What It Looks Like Now I added a new section in n8n's Personal Settings: "AI Builder Connection" - One-click configuration - Choose your model: - Claude Sonnet 4.5 - Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Thinking) - Claude Opus 4.5 (Thinking) - Gemini 3 Pro - Connect once, build unlimited The AI Workflow Builder now feels like a creative partner, not a metered service. --- 🧠 What This Means for Building With this setup, I can: - Generate 50+ workflow variations in one session - Experiment with Opus-level reasoning for complex automations - Iterate freely without watching a billing dashboard - Actually enjoy the building process again It's the difference between "let me think if this is worth testing" and "let's just try it and see." --- 💬 Question for You I'm curious — how do you currently handle AI costs when building workflows? - Do you limit your experiments? - Use cheaper models even when you need more power? - Just accept the cost as part of the process? Drop your thoughts below 👇 --- 🚀 What Are You Building? I always love hearing what others are automating with AI: - Lead gen pipelines? - Content workflows? - Internal tools? - AI agents?

I wanted to share something pretty special with you guys. From February 2nd to February 7th, there’s an AI Mastermind happening in Cape Town that’s being sponsored by n8n, and I’ll be there along with some of the biggest names in the AI space like Liam Ottley, Dave Ebbelar, Jack Roberts, Mark Kashef, and many more. This is not a typical conference. It’s a small, curated mastermind focused on real conversations, deep dives into AI, live talks and presentations, plus a lot of networking and social events with people who are actually building in this space. There are only about 50 VIP spots left, and it’s designed to be a high-impact, life-changing type of week. If you’re serious about AI, business, and meeting the right people, I definitely recommend checking it out and applying here: https://www.africai.vip/

How I Think About AI for Sales (Simple Rule) Sales has only 3 steps: 1.Start conversations 2.Understand problems 3.Offer solutions AI should help with steps 1 and 2 — not replace step 3. If AI talks for you too early, you lose trust. If AI supports you, you win time. That’s the balance. 🚀Answer this questions:- Any suggestions? How you're balance them? Any AI tools you're using for this ?

Guys, can anyone tell me how do I update my n8n self hosted version to v2.0. Btw I had just bought a domain through namecheap and not hosted it yet. If anyone has already updated their self-hosted version. Kindly tell me how can I do it

Most people fail at DMs for one reason: They try to sell before they understand. So here’s the simple structure I use — and the exact DM prompt frameworks for different situations. Every DM falls into ONE of these: 1.Cold DM (they don’t know you) 2.Warm DM (they’ve seen your content) 3.Hot DM (they already showed intent) 1.Cold DM (No Pitch, Zero Pressure) Hey {{Name}}, Came across your profile while looking into {{specific thing they do / posted about}}. Quick question — how are you currently handling {{relevant problem related to their niche}}? Just curious, not selling anything. -->How to customize it (don’t skip this part) {{specific thing they do / posted about}} → Mention something real: a post, their role, their website, their offer {{relevant problem}} → Something they already deal with (leads, follow-ups, ops, content, etc.) 🎉Example (filled in) 👉🏻Hey Rahul, Came across your profile while checking out B2B founders posting about outbound sales. Quick question — how are you currently handling lead follow-ups after the first call? Just curious, not selling anything. That’s it. No CTA. No link. No pressure. 🌟Looking forward to your reply on this questions:- How much helpful this is ? Which prompts you use to do outreach? Any suggestions to add-on?
