What's inside

- What AI automation is, where it helps and where it fails

- A beginner workflow diagram, n8n setup and key terms explained

About the workflow files: the practice workflow was imported and run in n8n 2.35.7. The other four were imported and their logic tested with a stand-in AI reply. They were not run against live Google, Gmail or AI accounts, and no credentials are included. Add your own, test with sample data, and review before use.
