Everyone says AI can build automations for you. 🛑 I put n8n's new AI Builder through 4 real-world stress tests, and the results were a mix of magic and mess.
We’ll talk about:
- The raw truth: n8n's AI is a powerful skeleton generator, but it struggles with hidden API settings (like Tavily's "Include Response") that cause silent failures.
- Demo 3 Failure: Why vague prompts create broken "spaghetti" workflows, and how to fix them by forcing linear, sequential logic.
- The "Debugging Partner" strategy: don't just let it build; paste error messages back into the chat to have it fix its own variable mismatches.
- Why you still need manual skills: the AI can't guess data structures, so you must verify JSON outputs and map variables yourself.
- Plus, the reality of Cloud Credit limits and why this tool is an accelerator, not a replacement for learning n8n.
