Okay, this video by Simon Lüthi is straight up inspiring for anyone like me who’s diving headfirst into the world of AI-powered development. Basically, he walks through building an entire AI-driven SEO workflow using n8n (the no-code workflow automation platform), Aidbase (an AI knowledge base), OpenAI, and Replicate. He goes from topic generation and research, all the way to writing the blog post, generating a thumbnail, and then publishing and sharing it. All automated!
What’s so valuable here is seeing how these different tools can be orchestrated to achieve a complete task that traditionally required hours of manual work. For instance, Aidbase acts as a kind of “internal knowledge” store for the AI, feeding it the right context for better content generation. That’s killer for keeping the AI on-brand and factually accurate. You can envision taking the same approach, but for tasks like automated code documentation, intelligent issue triaging in Jira, or even dynamic API integrations based on LLM prompts. The video shows a real-world example, not just theoretical possibilities.
Honestly, this video makes me want to jump right in and start experimenting. Building complex, automated workflows used to mean writing a ton of custom code. Now, with tools like n8n and the ability to leverage LLMs for specific tasks, you can visually build something powerful in a fraction of the time. The thought of freeing up that much time to focus on more strategic initiatives? That’s what makes this worth checking out. I’m already brainstorming how to apply this exact workflow to automating some client reporting tasks I’ve been putting off.
