Recently a user named @Nazeef ul hassan Qureshi asked... "As a noob , I think learning n8n is enough but knowing which tool to use when is important, can anyone expert share the details of roadmap to be a full stack Ai Automation expert instead of simple n8n expert" I love this question. It shows you’re already thinking 10 steps ahead. Being an n8n expert is a fantastic skill. You can build powerful things and solve real problems. But you’ve spotted the ceiling: you’re always dependent on someone else’s project. The shift from n8n expert to a full-stack AI automation architect is the difference between being a great mechanic and being an engineer who can design, build, and ship a brand new car from scratch. Let’s break it down. What’s the actual difference? - An n8n Expert connects apps. You are the glue. You take data from point A, transform it, and send it to point B. This is incredibly valuable. - A Full-Stack AI Automation Architect builds entire products. You create the car, the engine, the dashboard, and the user manual. You build systems that people can log into and use directly. The Path to Becoming a Full-Stack Architect: This is a journey, but it’s simpler than you think. You don’t need to learn to code for years. Step 1: Master the Logic (You’re already here!) This is your n8n expertise. It’s the brain of your operation. Keep crushing it. Step 2: Learn to Store Your Data This is the biggest leap. Instead of just passing data between apps, you need a place to store it long-term. This is your database. - Your Go-To Tool: Supabase (or Firebase etc) Think of it as a super-powered Google Sheets. It’s a real, grown-up database (Postgres, one of the most powerful in the world) but made incredibly easy to use. You can create tables, store user info, and track progress without writing complicated code. It plugs right into n8n. Step 3: Learn to Orchestrate Intelligence Go deeper than just the basic AI nodes. Understand how to manage different AI models for different tasks. Use OpenAI for logic, Claude for creative writing, or Gemini for function calling. Your job is to be the conductor of the AI orchestra.

At the moment I am working full-time and into AI tools mostly for making content(I use heygen, suno, openAI and pictory) I used it for training purposes inline with my job. I am such a newbie, If you advice me what first step I should take for me someday to be my own boss. No experience with coding, but I would like to learn all about AI automation and tools so someday I can use it for building something.

Overview of the Project: The goal was to automate an entire video creation pipeline. Input content ideas into a Google Sheet. Have AI automatically generate a short-form video script. Wait for manual approval via Google Sheet. Upon approval, auto-generate a vertical video (9:16) using a preset HeyGen avatar + voice. Skip or pause for unapproved or rejected ideas Tools Used: n8n – The backbone of automation Google Sheets – For storing ideas, tracking statuses, and managing scripts OpenAI – For converting rough ideas into polished American English scripts HeyGen – For generating videos using avatars and voice Elven Labs – For custom voice generation What I’m Most Proud Of: It was a paid project.
