Overview

This course offers a hands-on introduction to agentic AI using the low-code n8n platform, making advanced AI concepts accessible to non-technical professionals. Framed within the context of financial analysis, participants will learn to build autonomous agents equipped with conversational memory, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and live API tools—without writing extensive code. Through practical modules and a capstone project, participants gain the skills to design, build, and deploy AI agents capable of complex reasoning, task execution, and real-time insight generation—skills that can be applied across any industry.
