Last week, 50 community members gathered in Pris for our second meetup in the city. It was a fantastic evening, if we hadn’t stopped the event, some of them would have gone on all night!
Presentations
We had four great speakers share their n8n projects:
Hugo Schaefer, Orus: n8n and IA for data extraction and normalization
Hugo is Sales Ops at Orus, an insurance company. To insure an individual, a lot of documents have to be analyzed and classified! Hugo showed us this first production version.
Gary Rouch, Qolaig: AI that calls for prospection
Gary is the founder of Qolaig, a service company that deploys automation systems.
Gary introduced us to the power of n8n by pairing it with VAPI, a software application that enables AI to be called up. We were even treated to a fantastic live call!
Mory-Fodé Cisse, Freelance: AI Chatbot and scalability
Mory presented us with an n8n workflow based on the logic of an open ai framework: SWARM, to create a chatbot. He also showed us how to scale an n8n instance with Render.
Ruben Gaches, Spendesk: AI for the sales and the good speech
Ruben showed us how basic information such as a company name and a website can be used to obtain sales angles adapted to your product, and the right sales pitch behind it for your prospecting. This is an example in production at Spendesk.
