n8n automation guides
n8n is an open source workflow automation tool. You connect apps with nodes, add AI models where a step needs judgement, and run it either on n8n's cloud or on your own server, where the community edition costs nothing beyond the machine. That last part is why so many of the guides here start with hosting.
The posts walk through setups Karam has built and run: hosting n8n on Google Cloud with your own domain and SSL, Telegram and WhatsApp agents with free speech to text, and a pipeline that turns one YouTube video into posts for LinkedIn, X and Reddit. Each one lists the exact commands and settings, and says where the free tier stops.
When a workflow outgrows a weekend project, GenovaFlow builds and maintains production automations for teams.
