Supercharge Your n8n Workflows With AI Agents - Part 1 : Fundamentals

​You've built a workflow in n8n. It runs when you trigger it, does exactly what you told it to do, and stops. That's automation, but it's not thinking. It's just following orders.

​An AI agent is different. Give it a goal, some tools, and a bit of memory, and it starts making decisions on its own, deciding what to do next instead of just executing a fixed set of steps you laid out in advance.

​In this free webinar, AI Engineer Kavindhya (KPMG Sri Lanka) breaks down exactly what an AI agent is, how it works inside n8n, and why it's fundamentally different from both a regular chatbot and a traditional n8n automation. This is Part 1 of our two part AI Agents series, pure fundamentals explained simply, with no live build yet (that's Part 2). No coding experience needed.

​What you'll learn:

• ​What an AI agent actually is, in plain terms

• ​How an AI agent differs from a normal AI chatbot

• ​How an AI agent differs from a traditional n8n automation

• ​How an AI agent works inside an n8n workflow

• ​The three building blocks: AI model (the brain), tools (actions), and memory

​Who this is for: Beginners and early-intermediate n8n users, automation enthusiasts, and anyone curious about AI agents — no coding background required.

​What you'll leave with: A clear, practical understanding of AI agents and how they work in n8n — the foundation you need before Part 2, where we build a real IT Helpdesk AI Agent live.
