🤖 First AI Agent Starter: Weather & News Scraping Kit

This n8n workflow is a beginner-friendly starter kit for building your first AI agent. It creates an interactive chatbot powered by Google's Gemini model, equipped with tools to fetch weather forecasts worldwide and scrape latest news headlines from sources like n8n and CNN. The agent intelligently decides which tool to use based on user queries, acting as a smart assistant rather than just a responder.

Key features include a chat interface, agent 'brain' with memory for context-aware conversations, and detailed sticky notes explaining each component. It's designed for self-hosted n8n with community nodes, making it ideal for hands-on learning of agentic AI workflows.

Setup takes 2-3 minutes: obtain a free Gemini API key, add it to the Gemini node credentials, and activate the workflow. Benefits include rapid prototyping of AI automations, time-saving tool integrations, and educational value for n8n users new to AI agents. Use cases: personal assistants, demo projects, customer support bots, or expanding to more tools like calendars or databases.
