🤖 AI Agent Starter Kit: Weather, News & Web Scraping

This n8n workflow is a beginner-friendly starter kit for building your first AI agent. It features an interactive chatbot powered by Google's Gemini model, equipped with tools to retrieve real-time weather data from anywhere and scrape the latest news headlines from sources like n8n and CNN. The agent intelligently decides which tool to use based on user queries, demonstrating true agentic behavior—acting rather than just responding.

Key components include a chat interface for user interaction, the AI agent's 'brain' with memory for context-aware conversations, and pre-built tools annotated with sticky notes for easy understanding. Setup is quick: just add a free Gemini API key and activate the workflow. It's designed as a hands-on learning experience, making complex AI automation accessible in minutes.

Benefits include rapid prototyping of AI-powered automations, time savings on manual data lookups, and a foundation for expanding with more tools. Use cases span personal assistants for daily info (e.g., 'What's the weather in Tokyo?'), business dashboards for news monitoring, or educational demos for AI agent development. Ideal for self-hosted n8n users exploring agentic workflows.
