Once you understand agents and multi-agent patterns, n8n is where you build them on a visual canvas — no code required for the core loop.

You will use triggers (chat, webhook, schedule), AI Agent nodes (model + memory + tools), and the AI Agent Tool node that makes one agent available to another — the multi-agent primitive. Start with a single agent plus one tool so you can see Think → Act → Observe in the execution log. Then graduate to an orchestrator that delegates to specialist agents.

n8n is the vehicle; the durable skill is seeing when you need a fixed workflow versus an agent that decides, and when one agent should become many. That judgment transfers to Hermes next.
