There are 4 modules in this course
This module establishes the foundational understanding required to begin building intelligent agent workflows using N8N and DeepSeek. It starts by introducing the core concepts of workflow automation, emphasizing how automation platforms like N8N can orchestrate tasks across systems efficiently. Learners will explore the architecture, benefits, and use cases of N8N, gaining clarity on its node-based interface, trigger mechanisms, and integration capabilities. The module also guides learners through the complete setup process—installing N8N locally or on the cloud, connecting it to external services, and preparing it to interface with DeepSeek models. By the end of this module, learners will have a working automation environment, a clear mental model of how intelligent agents operate within workflows, and the foundational skills to begin designing their own AI-powered automation projects.

This module dives into the practical integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) like DeepSeek within N8N workflows to create intelligent, context-aware automation solutions. Learners will explore how to design workflows that combine traditional automation logic with generative AI capabilities—enabling dynamic decision-making, content generation, data transformation, and human-like interaction within processes. The module introduces key concepts such as prompt engineering within workflows, chaining AI nodes, and managing context across steps. Through real-world examples and guided exercises, learners will learn how to architect intelligent agents that can analyze inputs, respond intelligently, and trigger further actions. By the end of this module, learners will be equipped to design and implement LLM-powered workflows that go beyond static rule-based automation, creating smarter and more adaptable systems.

In this hands-on module, you’ll unlock the power of automation to transform raw data into actionable insights using PDFs, LLMs, and AI agents. You’ll begin by building workflows that trigger on email receipt and extract PDF content dynamically using open-source tools like Poppler. Then, you’ll harness DeepSeek’s LLM capabilities for precise information extraction—without relying on agent nodes—by mastering prompt engineering and structured data entry into Google Sheets. Finally, you’ll explore the next level of automation by integrating AI agents into your workflow. Learn to set up intelligent agents that analyze emails, extract context-rich data, and take intelligent actions—all within a single automated flow.
