The Community and Live Build
If you're part of my school community, we’ll be building this together live! Join me on Friday at 4:30 p.m., where you can follow along and ask questions. If you can't make the call, no worries! The session will be recorded and posted in the classroom section for you to access whenever convenient.
For newcomers, my name is Zar, and my YouTube channel and community focus on building practical and powerful AI agents for personal and business uses. We have an active community where members support and collaborate with each other, helping everyone enhance their skills in building no-code AI agents using tools like n8n.
Building the AI Agent
Our initial interaction will occur via Telegram, a fantastic tool for voice and text messaging with our AI assistant, named Mia. Below is an example of how it works:
Getting Emails:
- The Assistant will respond by summarizing unread emails based on your inquiry.
Database Access:
- It can retrieve contact information from an Airtable database and summarize tasks based on your request.
Other Integrations:
- You can interact with various APIs, such as the Weather API or Hacker News to fetch real-time information.
Let’s dive deeper into how you can build your personal AI assistant with n8n.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
1. Create a Telegram Bot
Start by setting up a Telegram bot using BotFather and obtain your access token. This bot will be your interface for chatting with your AI agent.
2. Using Nodes and Switches
Utilize Nodes to handle different types of messages, whether text or voice. Make sure to use Switch Nodes to route data correctly based on the input type.
3. Integrating OpenAI
The AI agent will utilize OpenAI’s API to turn voice messages into text and interpret user commands.
4. Tool Integration
While building, you can use various tools for different integrations:
- Email Management: Utilize Gmail API nodes to read and send emails.
- Database Access: Use Airtable nodes to retrieve and manage contact information and tasks.
- News and Internet Access: Tools like Hacker News andSur API allow the AI to fetch the latest information.
Testing Your AI Agent
Throughout the process, continual testing is vital. Run simple queries like, "do I have any unread emails?" or "what’s the weather in San Francisco?" to ensure the AI agent is functioning as intended.
