About this event

Stop copying and pasting prompts into a chat window. It’s time to build workflows that work for you while you sleep.

Most people use AI as a smart search bar. In this hands-on, 2.5-hour workshop, you’ll step up from chatting with AI to building with AI by turning an LLM into an automated system. We’ll tackle a pain point everyone shares: an overflowing, chaotic email inbox, and build a working, hands-free triage assistant that reads, categorizes, and acts on your mail automatically.

Choose Your Track:

  • Track A (Code-First): JavaScript + Google Apps Script directly in Google Workspace.

  • Track B (Low-Code/Visual): Visual node-based automation using n8n.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to trigger AI directly from real-world events (like new emails).

  • Forcing Gemini to return clean, reliable JSON data instead of long text answers.

  • Essential AI guardrails: catching errors, handling rate limits, and keeping a human in the loop.

Whether you’re a developer, product manager, or technical enthusiast, bring your laptop and leave with a deployed, personalized AI pipeline, this event is beginner-friendly for everyone!
