Youri van Hofwegen builds three automations from scratch in n8n, an automation tool that connects your apps and can run AI agents. According to the video description, the builds are a lead magnet form, an AI agent that answers customer emails, and a waitlist that writes signups to a spreadsheet.
Start with the form build, since it is the simplest and pays off right away. Keep a person reviewing the support agent's replies until you trust them.
