AI automation that works
Step-by-step tutorials on AI agents, coding agents, and automation tools — written for builders who want to understand the why, not just copy the output.
Foundations
New to AI agents? Start here. These tutorials cover what agents actually are, how coding agents work, and how to run your first real task.
AI Agent · Concepts
What Is an AI Agent? A Beginner-Friendly Guide
A core architecture overview without the marketing jargon. Learn how tools, memory, and planning work together.
n8n · 3 Ways
How to Install n8n: 3 Ways
Install n8n three ways: try it locally with Docker or npx, use n8n Cloud with zero setup, or self-host on a VPS for unlimited executions and full control.
No-Code · Personal Assistant
Build Your First Personal AI Assistant in 10 Minutes (No Code)
Build a personal AI assistant in minutes using no-code tools like n8n — core concepts, a simple workflow, and real use cases to automate tasks with AI.
OpenClaw · Install
How to Install OpenClaw: macOS, Windows & Linux Server (+ Skills Setup)
A comprehensive OpenClaw installation and setup guide for macOS, Windows, and Linux — deploy in under 10 minutes and extend it with community skills via ClawHub.
Hermes · Install
How to Install Hermes Agent: macOS, Windows & Linux Server (+ Skills Setup)
Step-by-step installation and setup for Hermes Agent by Nous Research on macOS, Windows, and Linux, plus how to expand it with community skills.
AI Agent · Tool Calling
How Tool Calling Works: What Happens When an Agent Uses a Tool
The mechanics behind function calling — how the model decides to use a tool, what gets sent, and how the result comes back into the agent loop.
Core Skills
You understand the basics. These tutorials go into agent architecture, tool choice, and how to combine coding agents with automation workflows.
Codex · Deepseek
How to Use DeepSeek V4 Flash with Codex
Connect DeepSeek V4 Flash to Codex with one command. No proxy needed now that DeepSeek supports the Responses API natively — plus the auth pitfall to avoid
AI Agent · Local Files
How to Connect AI Agents to Local Files
A technical guide to securely connecting AI agents like OpenClaw and Hermes to your local file system using strict path isolation and Docker sandboxing.
AI Agent · Web Access
How to Give AI Agents Web Access
Give your AI agent real web access. Configure search, fetch, and browser tools in OpenClaw and Hermes — plus the risks worth knowing first.
AI Agent · Slow
Why Is My AI Agent So Slow
Why is your AI agent or n8n workflow slow? Learn to diagnose auth retries, context bloat, database overhead, and slow models across OpenClaw, Hermes, and n8n.
Workflows · Human Approval
How to Add Human Approval to AI Agent Workflows with n8n and Telegram
Add a human approval step before an AI workflow publishes, sends, edits, or triggers an external action. Build the pattern with n8n and Telegram.
RAG · AI Agents
What Is RAG? A Practical Guide for Anyone Using AI Agents
Your AI agent doesn't know your documents — it's guessing. Learn what RAG actually is, how it works, and when you actually need it.
RAG · N8N
Build an AI Customer Support Agent with RAG + n8n
Build an AI customer support agent with n8n and RAG. Learn how to connect documents, vector databases, and LLMs to create an automated support workflow that answers from your own data.
Production & Architecture
For builders deploying agents in real environments. These tutorials assume you've already shipped something and hit real constraints.
DevOps · VPS Deployment
How to Run AI Agents 24/7 on a VPS
Keep OpenClaw, Hermes, or n8n running around the clock — systemd services, Docker restart policies, daemon setup, and monitoring to catch failures before they cost you uptime.
Debugging · Auth Errors
AI Agent Not Responding? API Key & Auth Errors
Diagnose why your AI agent won't respond — missing API keys, wrong provider configs, or expired tokens — with step-by-step fixes for OpenClaw and Hermes.
Debugging · Dependencies
How to Fix Dependency Conflicts (Python/Node.js)
Fix Node.js and Python dependency conflicts in OpenClaw, Hermes, and n8n — engine version mismatches, native module compile errors, and peer conflicts, with copy-paste fixes.
