freeCodeCamp launches free n8n course on building AI agents
freeCodeCamp has released a new course on n8n, an open-source tool for workflow automation. It shows how to link apps, APIs and AI models to create intelligent agents that run tasks autonomously. Key lessons include setting up vector databases, building a customer support agent with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and exploring self-hosting options. n8n connects to over 400 apps and includes built-in AI nodes. The course arrives as n8n gains traction as a flexible alternative to Zapier for complex automations.
Before this, aspiring agency builders pieced together AI agent skills from scattered YouTube clips and docs. n8n's power for multi-step orchestration stayed out of reach without weeks of trial and error, leaving portfolios thin on impressive demos. Now a single free course delivers production-ready blueprints like RAG agents in hours. Solopreneurs can spin up niche-specific proofs-of-concept fast, turning tech proficiency into visible expertise that demands client attention.
Analysis
This course hands you the exact POC ammunition to escape the zero-results trap—stop tinkering, build the RAG support agent for your ICP's top pain like appointment no-shows in dental clinics. Package it as a public demo case study on your site and LinkedIn, then DM 50 ICPs today with 'Saved X hours on Y—want yours?' No more generic pitches; this positions you as the niche consultant they search for.
