Just curious what people are using n8n for.

I just finished setting up a workflow that sends me a Telegram message every night about photography opportunities for the next day. It puts together weather data, POIs (which I defined for my location), sun/moon position, milky way visibility, cloud cover, etc. The message then simply tells me if it’s worth it going out in the morning.

    Can you elaborate on the agents? How do you handle persistant memory, what triggers them? What are they for? ☺️

      n8n offers some cool agent features out of the box.

      Like, if I talk about my personal agent is connected to Telegram, it can access my emails, my calendar, it can do web searches, deep research, it can access a NocoDB instance. etc. It also records a journal, any food diaries, it can take handwritten notes and convert them to text and store in my obsidian vault.

      For memory, I use the standard one from n8n but for long term memory, I use NocoDB or some vector storage (I forget the name).

      Honestly, it’s very easy to get started and play around with, so I recommend just setting up an agent and just having a go.
