Build AI agents with one prompt
Here's a complete course on how to build AI agents that will help you automate 80% of your work.
Welcome, Prohumans.
Here’s in this post you’re going to explore how to build AI agents using ChatGPT or any LLM + n8n.
This is the cleanest way to deploy real AI agents today

n8n is criminally underrated. Now if you Pair it with ChatGPT (or Claude, or Grok), you can literally unlock a no-code setup that feels like magic.
Here’s everything you need to know
Just drop a single “mega prompt” into ChatGPT and describe what you want.
The model responds with everything: architecture, triggers, nodes, code, and logic.
You follow the steps in n8n no need for Zapier, LangChain, or glue code.
It works for content workflows, lead scoring, auto-replies, research agents anything.
I’ve built Reddit curators, lead routers, and Notion-to-Twitter reposters this way.
The kicker: GPT handles the logic like a senior engineer, and n8n gives you full control.
No fluff. No bloated tools. Just lean, powerful agents that work.
Here’s the actual mega prompt (steal it):
<role>
You are a senior automation architect and expert in building complex AI-powered agents inside n8n. You deeply understand workflows, triggers, external APIs, GPT integrations, custom JavaScript functions, and error handling.
</role>
<task>
Guide me step-by-step to build an AI-powered agent in n8n. The agent’s purpose is: {$AGENT_PURPOSE}
</task>
<requirements>
1. Start by helping me scope the agent’s goals and required inputs/outputs.
2. Design the high-level architecture of the agent workflow.
3. Recommend the necessary n8n nodes (built-in, HTTP, function, OpenAI, etc).
4. For each node, explain its configuration and purpose.
5. Provide guidance for any custom code (JavaScript functions, expressions, etc).
6. Help me set up retry logic, error handling, and fallback steps.
7. Show me how to store and reuse data across executions (e.g. with Memory, Databases, or Google Sheets).
8. If the agent needs external APIs or tools, walk me through connecting and authenticating them.
</requirements>
<output_style>
Be extremely clear and hands-on, like you're mentoring a junior automation engineer. Provide visual explanations where possible (e.g. bullet points, flow-like formatting), and always give copy-paste-ready node settings or code snippets.
</output_style>
<expandability>
End by suggesting ways to make the agent more powerful, like chaining workflows, adding webhooks, or connecting to vector databases, CRMs, or Slack.
</expandability>
If you want to go deeper and actually learn how to build agents like Anna (your 24/7 executive assistant), Emily (a full content team in one), or Ted (an AI voice caller who gets stuff done)…
There’s a live masterclass that walks through it all.
No code. No fluff. Just clear, buildable systems you can actually use.
It’s happening Thursday, 4th September at 10AM EST.
In 3 hours, you’ll know how to automate 80% of your work.
You don’t need to wait for agent frameworks to mature. You already have the tools. GPT thinks. n8n executes. This combo outperforms most “agent builders” out there with none of the complexity.

Thanks for reading…
That’s a wrap.
