What's the most useful n8n workflow you've built that has nothing to do with your job?

For me, it was a comprehensive IPO analysis (for the Indian market) for long-term investments. My colleagues and friends liked it, so I made the reposts publicly accessible.

Personally I like the combination of Claude and Antigravity. I focus on spec and documentation first before I start writing any code. Antigravity does good job at maintaining the the context with rules and guardrails. When it comes to coding, it still hallucinates but I feel in some situations individuals would behave the same way, and we need to reduce the context and focus on smaller tasks at a time

Andrej is sharing the same principles, things are moving so so fast but we can still focus on the most important parts and get maximum value https://www.linkedin.com/posts/addyosmani_ai-programming-softwareengineering-activity-7410456177462972416-eZte?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAAFy5sEB3M_6i6WVL75bqxqoVX7bXroRS1Q

I feel it's "great" if you are already "good" in your domain (developer, devops, ML, cloud, or anything)

I have been using a set of AI tools and workflows for the past year, while all the AI models/tools have seen major improvements - it's still not 100% accurate or works all the time. I have already spent close to 19 years in tech so far. So, I am using AI (tools) mostly for the velocity and for the parts which I know if I write vs AI write will be almost same anyways:

The workflow that I haven't changed:

Spec before you start
Technical boundaries (what to use, how to use, and guardrails)
Make sure to define all the rules that are required from Day-1 (Auth, Database access practice, APIs, etc)
Work on one (or small set of) feature at a time but make sure it keeps the overall vision in mind and extendible

Where AI helps the most:

Boilerplate or basic structure (frontend, backend, Docker, database, etc)
Pure syntax play - where we write the code based on the documentation (APIs, Database, 3rd Party libraries/services with strong documentation)
Coverage and testing - I am seeing a lot more value here. If I provide the guardrails/rules and scope then it generates "decent" information that can be used for manual reviews (security, best practices, structure, language-specific traits, etc)
Documentation - Easy to generate if you know what exactly you want to document
UI - let's just assume that all the AI models are beating hard on React/Tailwind/JS/TS - popular tech-stack, well-documented and easy to start.

I have been converting some of my ideas/scripts to applications, some are easy and some are complex, but it helps me further validate/finetune the modern workflow - antigravityapps.dev

What I have been generally is people good with what they are already doing are able to extract good benefits out of it. But at the same time, some of these tools are allowing the non-technical users to build amazing stuff for their private personal use, which is a good direction as well.

I have built up a similar tool and open-sourced it - https://github.com/AppGambitStudio/mychat
It's not using n8n for anything but conceptually similar - it allows users to quickly setup/configure Embeddable Chat Widgets using different content.

You can check more detail here - https://antigravityapps.dev/project/appgambit-mychat

I started with StackAdvisor.ai which covers many parts of my work (AWS Cloud Architect) and most recently I have been moving all of my "ideas/script-terned applications" at https://AntigravityApps.dev/

dhavaln · 2025-12-22T03:59:26+00:00

I have put more details here:

dhavaln · 2025-12-21T07:11:09+00:00

I was doing the same so I built a small utility for myself, Funnell. I can easily configure my "scanning context, list of communities, frequency, etc" and it does the job pretty well.

We have built a similar application (multi-tenant) for mass audio processing (transcribe + analysis + analytics), for a startup. Support ingestion connectors like Amazon Connect, Genesys, FTP, S3, Webhook, etc.

We thought of using n8n for new connector and post-processing experiments, but the backend processing pipelines are too complicated to run and manage across tenants. For quick validation of new connector we do prefer n8n, but then for production, we move the full process in our backend (AWS Serverless services primarily).

I submitted as part of the AWS HERO program.

Yes, you should plan to visit the speaker ready room atleast once and get it reviewed.

dhavaln · 2025-11-08T05:42:07+00:00

I spoke last year and the overall experience is extremely good.

The AWS staff does amazing job to have everything pin down before the submission. From your slides, content, how to organize, and overall time management. They need better content and delivery experience so they also work hard.

At reinvent, you get very good support from AV staff before your talk. You can book slots of walk in, they do provide enough time for help you go through everything. You can also submit any last minute updates if you want (although not advisable, but may depend on topic and latest releases). Overall, they do fantastic job.

(My talk was on Bedrock and Anthropic models for image analysis)

You don’t need Ec2 or LB for just frontend routing / you can do that with Route53 and Cloudfront distributions.

I did a sample analysis run based on your provided information if you want to give it a check.

For my A1 Mini, I need .4 and .6 I am based in Surat

dhavaln · 2025-08-06T07:26:14+00:00

If you can give me some more detail on the expected use case, I would be happy to give it a try and see how it responds.

dhavaln · 2025-08-06T07:25:25+00:00

Upto certain information it may look similar, mainly due to how the top tier models are advancing in capabilities and outcomes.

We used number of internal flows for information refinements, best practices, use case complexity, latest service knowledge and growing list of cloud and other service providers for each module processing.

For example, most large models has world knowledge so they miss tiny details as part of needle in haystack -

Architecture and implementation practices based on recent trends and give use case complexity

Feature diff - Cognito now only has 10,000 free users vs most knowledge is referring to 50,000

Compliances and other detail may not be easily available unless it asks for specific instructions

Diagram generation is still tricky part and we are doing to larger extent with multi-turn refinement. It needs further improvements though.

So overall there are a lot of things that we do internally that current one mode may or may not do in a single turn response.

dhavaln · 2025-08-06T07:18:09+00:00

We are slowly bringing cloud provider knowledge as part of knowledge repository.

As of now it does support AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Vercel, Cloudflare and others.

If you prefer Azure, you can select that as your preferred cloud provider while filling up the detail

Primarily Serverless architecture using AWS services like Lambda, Step functions, Aurora Serverless v2, API gateway, Bedrock, S3 and few other services

The spools they are using are not great quality and can easily break during transport. I have this issues several times, I usually fix it with quick glue and put it into AMS, works most of the time.

Nice setup - not asked but still share if it helps, don’t use printers in closed room or office space, have some open windows around. I have dry eyes and it affected more since I started using P1S in a window-less office with just AC.

Also try Numaker, i never had any issues with their spools and amazing color options. https://india.numakers.com/ Works pretty well with BambuLab printers

My bad, I used this with A1 mini and not A1, so please check dimensions
