Feature Kitchen: n8n Assistant

The n8n Assistant turns a plain-language description into working n8n automations: describe what you want, and it plans, builds, runs, and debugs it with you in chat.

We'll build one automation together, live on screen, from idea to first successful execution. Along the way, we'll pause at the moments that matter: what the Assistant asked versus what it assumed, how it recovers when a run fails, and what we checked before calling the workflow done.

Then we turn it over to you. Which automations would you build with it first? What would you need to see before publishing something it built? Where does chat beat the canvas for you, and where does it get in the way? No laptop needed; come with opinions and a use case or two.

We'll also leave room to talk about what's next for the Assistant, and what you'd most want to see.

• Watch the n8n Assistant build a real automation live, from idea to first successful execution
• Understand the key decision points in an AI-built automation: what it asked versus what it assumed, and how it recovers from failed runs
• Learn what to check before trusting an AI-built workflow is actually done
• Discover where chat-based building works well versus where the canvas is still the better tool
• Get a look at what's next for the n8n Assistant and a chance to weigh in on its direction
