My first agent!

I'm excited to share that I've created my first agent using n8n and thanks to a few YouTube videos. 🙃

For those who have been doing this a while, you may be lol'ing about my excitement. That's ok. I am too!

Before I started this mission, a couple hours ago, I had no idea how to use APIs or any of the n8n building blocks but I'm following advice I found in yesterday's video about "How I'd make money in 2026..." by the one and only Nate Herk. I'm going to continue following his recipe and see how far I can get with the power of AI!

UPDATE: 2nd image is what I was able to add with Outlook. Interesting how 2FA and API Keys, etc. can all work seamlessly together to provide an outcome. Turns out, Google only refreshes an 'Other' calendar type, whenever it wants so it can take hours (8-24 hours) before a calendar updated on a shared Apple calendar appears on the Google calendar for consideration of availability or not. My work here is complete for the day. Total time is around 5.5 hours including two 10-minute breaks from never having built a functional Agent, to having one that has some robustness measures baked into the logic. I'm pretty happy with a single session's progress.
