The video demonstrates how to build a no-code AI email agent using n8n and Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, enabling automated email management such as reading, drafting, and sending messages through an easy-to-configure workflow. It also highlights the benefits of AI agents over traditional models, guides viewers through setup and integration with Gmail, and promotes the AI Automation Pro community for further learning and support.
The video demonstrates how to build a powerful AI email agent using n8n, a no-code automation platform, combined with Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model. The presenter starts by showcasing the agent’s capabilities, such as checking the latest Gmail messages and sending emails automatically, all without writing any code. This AI agent leverages Gemini’s language model to understand and interact with emails, making email management seamless and efficient. The agent can be triggered by chat messages and can perform tasks like reading emails, drafting replies, and sending messages autonomously.
The presenter explains the concept of AI agents and how they differ from traditional AI models like ChatGPT. While typical AI models require manual steps—such as drafting an email and then sending it—AI agents automate the entire workflow, including sending emails based on context and previous interactions. This automation reduces human workload by delegating repetitive tasks to the AI, which can also remember past conversations through integrated memory, enabling more contextual and intelligent responses.
Next, the video guides viewers through setting up the workflow in n8n. It covers creating a new workflow triggered by chat messages, adding an AI agent node, and connecting it to the Google Gemini chat model via an API key obtained from Google Cloud Console. The presenter highlights the ease of connecting these components through drag-and-drop interfaces and explains how to configure the AI model settings, including selecting the Gemini 2.5 Flash model for fast and free usage with generous daily limits.
The tutorial then focuses on integrating Gmail tools within the AI agent to enable email reading and sending functionalities. By connecting a Gmail account through OAuth, the agent can fetch recent emails and send new ones based on user commands. The presenter demonstrates how to configure these tools, rename them for clarity, and add system prompts to guide the AI’s behavior, making it act as a dedicated email assistant. This setup allows the agent to perform complex email tasks autonomously, such as replying with witty jokes or managing email drafts.
Finally, the video promotes the AI Automation Pro community, a resource hub for learning AI automation with n8n. The community offers courses, templates, personalized blueprints, and support to help users build AI agents and automations effectively. Additionally, members can earn money by contributing to the community through sharing knowledge and helping others. The presenter encourages viewers to join the community for ongoing support and to accelerate their journey in AI-powered automation.
