    Watch the Video

    Okay, this video on using Zep memory with AI agents in n8n is seriously inspiring for anyone looking to move beyond basic LLM integrations. It’s about giving your AI agents actual long-term memory using a relational graph database (that’s Zep), which means they can understand relationships between entities, users, and events. Think of it: no more just relying on the immediate context window!

    The real value here isn’t just about the cool tech, but about the practical strategies the video shares. It highlights the potential cost explosion you can face by blindly implementing long-term memory, and then dives into token reduction techniques in n8n. This is critical because, while giving an AI agent a memory of all past conversations or user interactions sounds great, it becomes a nightmare when you’re paying by the token. The video shows how to intelligently combine short-term and long-term memory, using session IDs, and other methods so that we can reduce cost without sacrificing performance.

    For me, this video represents a key evolution in how I’m approaching AI-powered automation. No-code tools like n8n, combined with services like Zep that provide memory, offer a powerful way to build sophisticated AI agents. I’m already imagining how I could adapt this to create more personalized customer support bots or even intelligent internal knowledge management systems. It’s one thing to connect an LLM to an API, and it’s another to create systems that truly learn and evolve over time. This video has actionable strategies for that. I am going to sign up for n8n using the link the video provides.

    Okay, so this video is basically showing how to spin up a full-blown AI-powered app in minutes using a no-code tool called Rocket.new. As someone who’s spent years hand-coding Laravel apps, and who is now actively diving into AI-assisted workflows, that immediately grabbed my attention. We’re talking about potentially bypassing a significant chunk of the traditional development lifecycle, and focusing more on the idea and the user experience than the nitty-gritty code.

    What makes this valuable for us developers embracing the AI/no-code shift is the promise of rapid prototyping and validation. Imagine you have a client with a wild idea for an app. Instead of weeks of coding, you could use something like Rocket.new to build a functional prototype in an afternoon. You could then test its core functionality, get real user feedback, and iterate before committing to a full-scale build. We can use these tools to quickly build the scaffolding and let the AI tools do what they are good at – filling it out and making it work.

    Ultimately, the idea of quickly generating and deploying AI-driven apps opens up massive possibilities. It’s not about replacing developers, but about augmenting our abilities and allowing us to focus on the higher-level aspects of application development like architecture and scaling. I’m definitely going to play around with Rocket.new; even if it’s not perfect, the speed and ability to iterate on ideas quickly makes it worth experimenting with.

  • The new way to do Auth Keys in Supabase

    Watch the Video

    Okay, this Supabase video about JWT Signing Keys and API Keys is seriously worth checking out. It’s all about improving security and performance, which is music to my ears as I dive deeper into AI-driven workflows. Essentially, they’re replacing the old Anon and Service Role keys with more granular API keys and introducing asymmetric JWTs. This means your app can verify users locally without hitting the Supabase Auth Server every time, which is huge for speed.

    Why is this valuable for someone like me transitioning into AI coding and no-code? Well, think about it: many AI-powered apps need secure and fast authentication. These changes streamline that process. I can see using these API keys to lock down specific microservices or AI agents, ensuring they only access what they’re supposed to. Plus, the JWT signing keys mean I can potentially offload authentication logic to the edge, further improving response times for AI-driven features.

    Honestly, this video is inspiring because it highlights how traditional backend bottlenecks can be solved with smart architectural changes. Experimenting with these new Supabase features feels like a natural extension of my AI/no-code journey, allowing me to build more secure, scalable, and performant AI-powered applications.

  • Stop Using RAG for Spreadsheets — Use This Instead (n8n)



    Date: 07/14/2025

    Watch the Video

    Okay, this video is exactly the kind of content that gets me fired up about the future of development. It’s all about building smarter AI agents with n8n that can actually understand and query structured data, like spreadsheets, using a hybrid RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) approach. We’re talking about giving our agents the ability to not just semantically search, but to do things like sum columns, filter rows, and perform real SQL queries through natural language!

    Why is this valuable? Well, how many times have you built a clunky interface just to let a user run a simple report on some data? This video shows you how to use an AI agent to interpret a user’s natural language request (“What were the total sales in France last month?”) and translate it into an actual SQL query against a Supabase database. The magic is in how the data is ingested and managed – storing structured data in a flexible JSONB column, so you don’t need a rigid schema upfront. Plus, it smartly combines vector search for unstructured data with SQL queries for the structured stuff – the agent decides which to use. It walks through a complete data pipeline, too, covering things like handling data changes in Google Drive and keeping everything synced. No-code is cool and all, but the real power comes when you can seamlessly blend it with robust backend logic.

    For me, the most exciting thing is the shift from building rigid UIs and APIs to crafting intelligent agents that can adapt to changing data and user needs. Imagine the possibilities for automating reporting, data analysis, and even complex business workflows! I’m already brainstorming ways to apply this to a reporting project for a client. I’m thinking by setting up a system like this, we can drastically cut down the time spent manually building reports and dashboards. It’s worth experimenting with, as I see it lowering dev time by potentially 50%!
