AI tutors that teach you no-code

This is a quick start guide to get your first five n8n automations running within an hour, even if you're not technical.

If you are just about to start your no-code journey, here’s everything you need to know.

1. Learn the fundamentals

   Below are direct links to custom GPTs for the 4 pillars of no-code development. These will explain the concept and then provide you with quiz questions until you’re comfortable with the concept. If you get stuck, ask for help, the GPT will explain.

   1. Node-based thinking

   2. Data Structures

   3. Control Flow

   4. Using APIs

2. Set up your n8n account

   You’ll need a no-code workbench. I recommend n8n, because it’s easy to learn, you can easily self-host for $5 per month, and can support AI agents. If you’re not technical follow the Railway tutorial.

   1. Self-hosting on Railway (recommended)

   2. Self-hosting on DigitalOcean

   3. n8n Cloud (paid)

3. Set up someone else’s workflow

   Forget course videos, get to work. Below are 5 prebuilt workflows you should set up for yourself. These will give you immediate benefits and by setting them up you’ll know just enough to be dangerous.

   1. Angie, an AI agent that runs on Telegram and manages your email, calendar, contacts and tasks

   2. AI Agent to track your expenses

   3. Enrich lead data from Linkedin

   4. Qualify leads with AI

   5. Scrape business emails from Google Maps

Congratulations! Now you’re successfully onboarded as a Junior No-Code Developer. Next, sign up for the 100 Days of No-Code, where you’ll receive a n8n no-code workflow every day for 100 days from March 1st.

This will help you nail down all the potential use cases for n8n workflows and get really good.
