This course is in preparation. The outline below is a draft and may change before the first batch. Register your interest and we’ll tell you when dates are set — it helps us decide when to run it.
About this course
Build AI workflows and agents that do real work: read an email, pull the right data, draft a reply or a report, and hand it to a person to approve. You build them in n8n, an open-source automation tool, connected to the Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 tools and APIs your organisation already uses — with the error handling, approval steps and cost limits that make an automation safe to leave running.
Who this is for
- Operations and admin leads with repetitive, rule-based work
- Analysts who move data between systems by hand
- Internal IT and digital teams
- Founders and small-business owners
What you’ll be able to do
- Decide which work is worth automating, and which should stay manual
- Build n8n workflows with triggers, branches, loops and schedules
- Connect Gmail, Google Sheets, Microsoft 365 and REST APIs
- Add LLM steps that classify, extract and draft, with structured output
- Build an AI agent that uses tools, with limits on what it may do
- Add human approval, retries, error alerts and logging
- Keep API keys, personal data and costs under control
Tools you’ll use
- n8n
- OpenAI, Claude and Gemini APIs
- Google Sheets & Gmail
- Microsoft 365
- Webhooks & REST APIs
- JSON

Your project
You automate one real workflow end to end — for example an inbox that sorts enquiries, drafts replies for approval and logs them to a sheet — and show it running with its failure paths.
Where you’ll use this
- Sorting and answering enquiries with a person approving replies
- Pulling data from forms, emails and PDFs into sheets or systems
- Scheduled reports assembled and sent automatically
- Alerts when something in your data changes
Before you start
Comfortable with spreadsheets and with using ChatGPT or similar. No programming needed, though reading simple JSON helps — we cover it. AI in the Workplace is a good first step.
Who teaches it
The course is designed and taught by data and AI practitioners — people who build data pipelines, dashboards and AI systems for businesses — so every exercise reflects how the tool is used on real work.
Certificate
You receive a GeXOn Training Center certificate when you complete the course and its project.
Every certificate carries an ID that employers can check at trainingcenter.gexonai.com/verify.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to code?
No. n8n is visual. You’ll read and write a little JSON and a few expressions — we teach those from scratch.
Why n8n?
It’s open source, can run on your own server so your data stays with you, and connects to almost anything. What you learn carries over to Zapier, Make or Power Automate.
When will it run?
When enough people have registered interest to fill a batch. Register below and you’ll hear the dates first — it costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
