Hello n8n Community!
I’m currently using n8n to test out automation, and what better way than to automate my everyday life?
I’ve set up a number of generic automations—Gmail, Calendar, Web Search & Scrape, etc. However, I’m curious how many of you have used n8n on a personal, everyday level to automate the mundane tasks?
Personally, I’ve started clearing my inbox using n8n. It may not be fully agentic, but it’s definitely doing something productive. I’ve created a chatbot that’s quite advanced; it can control devices in my home via HTTP requests. For example, I can tell it to “Turn off the TV,” and using context plus data from Home Assistant, it knows exactly which TV to turn off in my room.
Additionally, while I’m still migrating from another platform, I have automations set up to warm up my car (thanks to DroneMobile via Home Assistant) on those chilly northern USA days. It’s freezing right now! I’ve also created automations that give me a visual representation of how on-time or late I’ll be for work based on the current time and traffic—a variable I call timeToWork.
As I transition from Node-RED, I’m eager for n8n to play a more proactive role in my life now that it has agent capabilities.
How are you all implementing AI agents in your daily routines?
Looking forward to hearing your experiences!
