Build Your First AI Agent with n8n IN 30 Minutes | (NO CODING)

One of the highest paying skills you can

learn today is to build and sell agents

in 2026. Hi everyone, I'm Ishan Sharma

and today you'll learn to build and

deploy an AI agent using N8N. NAN is one

of the most popular AI agent and

automation platforms. And in this video,

I'll show you step by step how to build

your very first automation in NAT. But

Ishan, what workflow are we building

today? Well, you must be watching a lot

of YouTube videos. How cool would it be

if you can create these amazing looking

summary infographics for every YouTube

video that you watch? Well, that is what

today's workflow is all about. The input

will be a YouTube video link and the

output will be an amazing summary

infographic just like this. Now, we're

going to be using Nano Banana Pro to

achieve this in our workflow. Not only

will you be able to build this workflow,

you will also be able to deploy it using

Hostinger VPS. Hostinger provides you a

virtual private server wherein you can

host all of your Nitn workloads and run

it seamlessly without any power

constraints. Having a private server

with Hostinger is much more beneficial

than actually hosting it on NA10 itself.

First of all, look at the price

comparison. NA10 hosting is much more

expensive and look at the pricing that

Hostinger provides for the VPS hosting

itself. And having your own private

server means a lot more power and

capacity. So your workflows can be

running in production for multiple users

without any scaling limitations which

you might encounter when you are hosting

your automation on any itself. All

right. So first of all let's set up our

hostinger VPS. To do that just go on to

hostinger.com or the link in the

description of this video. Go on to

services. Go on to VPS and select

self-hosted net. When you do that you

can choose a plan that they offer. I go

with the KVM2 plan. And then you can

select the duration. You can either go

with 1 month, 12 months, or the 24-month

plan. You get a 10% discount by using

coupon code Ishan on the 12-month plan

and a 15% discount on the 24-month plan

by using the coupon code Ishan 15. Just

make sure before payment that the server

location is set to India and the

application in the operating system is

set to NAN. And once you make the

payment and select a root password, you

will now be able to set up your own

virtual private server. and in about

five minutes you can start creating your

own NAT workflows. With that done and

out of the way, let's start building our

very first NAT automation. So once you

make the purchase on Hostinger, you will

now be able to see this VPS being

activated for you and running. You can

click on manage and that will take you

to this dashboard. Now you just need to

click on manage app and with that it

will first ask you to login and create

your very first NIN account. So once you

do that your niten account will now be

connected to hostinger and this is the

nit dashboard that you will see. We'll

simply click on create a workflow and

now we can start creating nodes. So

whenever you're making a n workflow

every component that you add is called

as a node and the way we want to create

this automation is that the input is

going to be in a form. So on a form we

enter the link of the YouTube video

press enter. The next step is to get the

transcript of that YouTube video. So we

will have to find out a service that

allows us to extract the subtitles and

the captions. Next step is to turn those

subtitles into a infographic. And for

that we'll be using Gemini's Nano Banana

Pro API. So I'll show you how to do that

as well. Next up is for us to take that

image and host it somewhere. So this is

what I am doing. You can also email that

that image to you. You can sign in with

with your Gmail account and give it

developer access and enable that on

cloud console. But I wanted it to also

just appear in front of me in my app. So

for that we need to host this image

somewhere. So we need to find a service

for that. And the last step is to

present this image. So at the end we'll

have a simple form which will redirect

to the URL of the image and then the

person will be able to see this image in

the app itself. So that's how it works.

It's a very simple workflow. Let's make

it step by step and let me show you how

it all works. Make sure that you're

taking notes and following along as I'm

making it step by step. The first step

is to add a way to input the video link.

So for that we'll click over here. And

what trigger do we want? We can have all

types of triggers. It could be to

trigger manually. So we can click on it

and then it will be executed. But we

want it to be a form entry. So we'll

click on form submission. So now we are

in this form node. So you'll see a lot

of different things here. First of all,

you will see the parameters. So from

URLs, we are currently on the test URL.

We can also go into the production URL

in some time. But this is the

authentication. We don't want any

authentication to be there. Form title

would be infographic

creator. Description we don't need to

add. Now I want the form to respond only

when the workflow is finished. That is

really important because we want when we

press the button submit it will process

and take some time and then it will

output the image on the same form. So

for that we need to wait till the image

is created and the workflow is

completed. So click on workflow finishes

and we can add a form element here. So

we'll say video link. The label would be

what's the YouTube video link? So let's

ask that question. The element type

would be text itself because it is a

link. Placeholder is nothing. Required

is yes. And that's all that we need to

do over here. Now if we will execute

this step, this is what we will see. So

this is a simple edit and form where we

can enter the YouTube video link. So

let's go on to YouTube and just find our

video. So let's find a simple video that

we can

enter over here. So let's say I want to

choose this video by a friend of mine

see and I'll just copy this YouTube

video link and I will just input it over

here and click on submit. So form is

submitted. So when you go back to your

form you will see that this step has

been executed and the output was the

video link submitted at so the timestamp

and then the form mode which is the test

mode. We are currently in the test mode

right now. So this is the first node of

our automation. Next up once we have

this YouTube link next step is to get

the transcription from that and this is

really interesting. So what we need to

do here is to do a HTTP request. So the

way to do this, there are various APIs

people have created which allow you to

extract the captions from a YouTube

video. You can find these APIs. You can

actually pay for them as well. But I

found a way to do it for completely free

using this platform called API. So you

can simply go on to API. API is like a

marketplace where you can use any API

that you want and it gives you $5 worth

of free credits to try out all of these

APIs. So you can actually create your

free account and then you can go on

console. So when you do that you will

see a dashboard. You simply have to go

to settings and here is where you can go

on to API and integration and get your

personal API token. So this is my token

right now. I can simply copy it and

paste it into our NAT workflow. So I'll

say I want to do a HTTP request. So

we'll go over here and this time I want

it to be a post method. There are

various methods that you can see. So

post method is a way for me to send a

request to this API to send some data to

it and I will get some data back as

well. So I'll go for the post method
