In this video, I’ll show you how to connect DeepSeek’s newest reasoning model, DeepSeek R1, directly in n8n—no OpenRouter required! Because this model isn’t built for tool/function calling, we want to use DeepSeek R1 as a planning agent. It’s job is to take the human request, and think through the steps to achieve the result. It will then feed this plan of action into a tools agent that can use any other model like GPT 4o or Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

In this video, I break down the AI systems pyramid and explain how I decide what type of system to build for a given problem. We walk through all four layers, starting with custom GPTs, then simple workflow automations with no AI, followed by AI workflows, and finally full AI agents. As you move up the pyramid, complexity, cost, and the chance of things going wrong all increase, and I explain exactly why that matters in real projects. I also show real examples of each layer so you can see how these systems actually work in practice. By the end of the video, you should be able to confidently decide which type of AI system you need to build and avoid overengineering solutions that do not need it. Access the Decision Tree HERE

This is your n8n Cheat Sheet for 2026 (Attached in this post) In this video I break down the 17 core n8n nodes that I use in almost every automation I build. After creating more than 200 workflows for real clients, my own AI automation business, and even for YouTube videos, these are the nodes that consistently show up across every use case. I walk through each node with real examples and explain why mastering this short list gives you the power to build almost anything in n8n. If you learn these 17, you can move fast, build confidently, and handle almost any automation project you run into.

In this video, I show the exact AI Agent I built in 2 hours, what the AI agent does, and why a client paid $2,600 for it. I break down the idea, how I put it together, and what actually made the AI Agent worth paying for. This video is another super valuable one. Hope you all enjoy!

In this video, I show you how to build a no-code AI system in n8n that automatically creates UGC (user-generated content) ads, from product photos to full video ads. This workflow utilizes Nano Banana, Veo 3.1, and Sora 2 for image and video generation, so all you have to do is upload a product image, write a short description of the features, and tell the system what type of video you want. From there, it does everything for you, automatically generating realistic, on-brand UGC visuals and short-form videos ready to use in your marketing campaigns. This template is completely free and incredibly easy to customize. As these AI image and video models continue to improve, you’ll be able to refine your prompts to get even better, more human-like results over time. You can generate high-quality 10-second videos for as little as $0.15 each, making it one of the most cost-effective ad creation systems available today. GOOGLE SHEET TEMPLATE
