How To Make AI Agents

Build smart automations in three steps: plan, build in n8n, and monitor.

You don't need to be a developer to build AI agents. With the right plan and tools like n8n, you can create automations that think and act like team members.

Use n8n to connect your tools and add AI intelligence:

Connect your apps—Gmail, Slack, CRM, help desk, etc.
Add AI nodes—use GPT or other models to understand and decide
Set triggers and actions—what starts the agent, and what it does next
Test the flow—run a few examples to make sure it works

n8n gives you full control—no code required for simple agents, but you can add custom logic if needed.

Start by answering three questions:

What task do I want to automate? (e.g., route support tickets, qualify leads)
What inputs does the agent need? (e.g., email content, customer data)
What actions should it take? (e.g., send to the right team, update CRM)

Map the flow on paper or a whiteboard. Keep it simple—start with one task and expand later.

Once live, keep an eye on your agent:

Track performance—how many tasks did it handle correctly?
Fix errors—adjust the logic if something breaks
Improve over time—add new features as your needs change
