Free n8n tutorials for small business
n8n is a visual workflow automation tool. You connect a trigger, an AI Agent node, a chat model, memory and tools like Google Sheets, and the workflow does the work on its own. These 22 free modules (19 live now) teach it by building real projects, not by reading about features: n8n AI Agent Tutorial: Save Social Media Ideas to Google Sheets, Lovable + n8n: Build a Web App with an AI Backend, AI Receipt Extractor: Receipts to Google Sheets with n8n and AI Email Responder: Draft Gmail Replies Automatically with n8n, and more.
The n8n modules cover AI Automation for Beginners, Business Automations, HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing and Sales and more. Every module runs in a practice copy of n8n, so you can learn it without an account, then set it up for real.
