If u are learning automation, staring at a blank n8n canvas can waste plenty time. Starting from a working template is usually easier.
This free GitHub repo has templates for AI agents, website chatbots, n retrieval-augmented generation workflows. U can import one, add ur own credentials, n adapt it for a real use case.
Try the templates here: https://github.com/ar-automation-labs/free-n8n-workflow-templates
This fits my focus on learning automations, free templates, Hermes AI, n building something useful enough to show a client.
- Start with the simplest template.
- Replace the sample input with fake business data.
- Test the failure path, not only the happy path.
- Add a human approval before any message goes out.
- Save a short screen recording as portfolio proof.
More AI automation resources are on the coding180 marketplace.
Which one would u build first: an AI agent, a website chatbot, or a retrieval workflow?
