Speed Run: Connect Hermes Agent to n8n in 10 Minutes (Under 10 Min)
Alternatives:
2. From Zero to n8n + AI Agent in 10 Minutes (No Code)
3. I Connected an AI Agent to n8n in 10 Minutes — Here's How
4. n8n Speed Run: AI Agent + Workflow Automation in Under 10 Min
────────────
DESCRIPTION
────────────
From signup to an n8n-connected AI agent in under 10 minutes. No coding, no plugins — just clone the official n8n skill repo, paste your credentials, and your agent starts building automation workflows.
We could have done it 90 seconds faster — we hit the wrong API endpoint (/api/v2) first and had to regroup. Once we switched to /api/v1, everything clicked. Still had 1:36 left on the clock.
In this speed run I walk through:
- Getting a free derez.ai trial
- Cloning the official n8n skills from github.com/n8n-io/skills
- Setting up the agent on the derez.ai dashboard
- Connecting to your n8n instance via the REST API
- Building a hello world workflow: read focus.de headlines with RSS → summarize with an AI Agent
- Running a security audit on your n8n credentials (bonus)
