Transcript

So everyone asks me what tools do I use for AI automation. First one is n8n. I use n8n for workflow and agents orchestration. Why n8n over Make.com or Zapier? n8n is cheaper, especially if you're running volumes and I can host it myself. This is very important if you're building for highly regulated industries like healthcare, so you have to be compliant with HIPAA in the US. GDPR in Europe, in Nigeria, you have to be compliant with NDPA. So you cannot leave your client's data in a 3rd party server. For agents brain, I prefer Claude or Gemini. I'm not really a fan of OpenAI. For RAG or knowledge embedding, I use Pinecone Vector database. But if the entries are really small, like less than 100, I would rather query them from a Postgres or MySQL database. Then for messaging, I use WhatsApp through a provider. Twilio is my favorite. Sometimes I also use the WhatsApp Cloud API directly. Finally, if I have to create my custom API, I use Laravel or Fast API. Those are the five tools I use most frequently.
