WEBVTT 00:00.960 --> 00:04.480 Hi there and welcome back to the Na ten Beginner to Pro course. 00:04.840 --> 00:10.400 In our last session, we explored the power of automation in general and examples of workflow automation. 00:10.720 --> 00:17.240 Today we are talking about the tool that's going to be your best friend in automation Na ten and why 00:17.280 --> 00:22.320 Na ten is currently the best available platform on the market for building awesome automations and AI 00:22.360 --> 00:22.880 agents. 00:23.200 --> 00:26.800 In short, Na ten is like the Swiss Army knife of automation. 00:28.080 --> 00:30.440 What exactly is na na? 00:30.480 --> 00:36.960 Ten stands for Node to Node, a system built around nodes that connect different services and apps. 00:38.560 --> 00:44.440 It's a powerful, no code, low code automation platform that helps you connect different apps and services 00:44.840 --> 00:47.200 to automate workflows and build AI agents. 00:48.800 --> 00:55.240 Think of it as a visual platform where you can link all your favorite tools Gmail, slack, Google Sheets, 00:55.280 --> 00:57.640 CRM, databases, you name it. 00:59.240 --> 01:01.360 You don't need to be a developer to make it work. 01:02.070 --> 01:08.310 If you have heard of tools like Zapier or Make.com, anything is similar, but with way more flexibility, 01:08.590 --> 01:11.750 customization options, and control over your data. 01:15.230 --> 01:17.950 Why choose N810 over other automation tools? 01:18.390 --> 01:22.470 First of all, N810 makes automation easy and accessible for everyone. 01:22.510 --> 01:29.350 You don't need to be a developer or know how to code to automate tasks visually with a simple drag and 01:29.350 --> 01:30.590 drop workflow builder. 01:32.310 --> 01:37.790 Plus, you can easily integrate AI into your automations, allowing you to stay ahead of the curve. 01:38.110 --> 01:45.310 Because N810 helps you leverage AI without technical expertise, you can plug AI straight into your 01:45.310 --> 01:47.950 automation without messing with complex code. 01:49.470 --> 01:54.070 That means you are not stuck relying on random AI tools that pop up every day. 01:54.350 --> 01:57.030 Most of them are overpriced and pretty useless. 01:57.510 --> 02:03.570 With N810, you control how AI works for you so you get real value without wasting time or money. 02:04.170 --> 02:07.810 Now let's do a quick comparison to help you see why N810 stands out. 02:08.450 --> 02:14.410 N810 is open source, which means the code behind the platform is publicly available on GitHub. 02:18.050 --> 02:21.530 GitHub essentially is a platform for developers to store code. 02:21.970 --> 02:30.730 You can take this code and self-host the platform completely for free on a rented server for about $7 02:30.730 --> 02:31.250 a month. 02:32.290 --> 02:37.890 It has almost 60,000 stars on GitHub, which is a lot. 02:40.650 --> 02:49.370 However, for beginners, I strongly recommend using the cloud service because self-hosting requires 02:49.370 --> 02:51.490 technical expertise to set up and maintain. 02:51.850 --> 02:59.890 You can use N810 cloud service just for $24 a month, which is very cheap considering how powerful the 02:59.890 --> 03:00.690 platform is. 03:03.050 --> 03:05.000 N810 has excellent documentation. 03:05.320 --> 03:11.360 So whether you are a beginner or an advanced user, the official docs provide clear step by step guides. 03:11.880 --> 03:17.840 The tight explanations of nodes and troubleshooting tips to help you get the most out of the platform. 03:18.600 --> 03:24.080 You can build powerful AI agents, and when you compare it to how much you'd pay for basic automations 03:24.080 --> 03:27.840 in Make and Zapier, it's really cost effective. 03:28.440 --> 03:33.280 Because Naa10 allows for self-hosting, you have full control over your data. 03:34.120 --> 03:41.120 The pricing model is based on workflow executions, so when you are using the cloud service, you don't 03:41.120 --> 03:42.960 pay for individual operations. 03:43.760 --> 03:47.080 You pay for entire workflow execution. 03:47.880 --> 03:51.080 What makes it more cost effective for complex workflow? 04:00.880 --> 04:07.910 Now, Enitan has over 400 native integrations, which means you can find dedicated nodes to connect 04:07.910 --> 04:10.430 directly to other apps and services. 04:10.630 --> 04:14.070 Through API calls, instead of relying solely on webhook calls. 04:14.670 --> 04:19.030 I will explain all those terms in the next episodes, so don't worry if you don't know what I'm talking 04:19.030 --> 04:19.630 about now. 04:23.150 --> 04:31.590 Now, this table shows the benefits of using N810 over competitors such as Zapier or Make.com. 04:32.470 --> 04:40.630 So basically, Zapier is super user friendly, but limited when it comes to complex workflows. 04:40.990 --> 04:44.710 Is great for beginners, but you will hit a wall if you need advanced features. 04:45.190 --> 04:47.430 And also, Zapier is very expensive. 04:49.190 --> 04:56.190 Like Make.com offers visual workflow building like N810 with support for more complex automation, but 04:56.190 --> 05:02.150 it's not as flexible for custom integrations, and its pricing structure is based on charging for each 05:02.190 --> 05:02.870 operation. 05:03.390 --> 05:11.650 So node execution while when you we are using N810 cloud service, they charge you per workflow execution. 05:11.890 --> 05:17.610 So if you have a workflow with 200 steps, you are to charge only once per execution. 05:20.850 --> 05:23.650 So make that come can get expensive fast. 05:26.130 --> 05:26.610 Great. 05:26.650 --> 05:31.650 Now you have got an idea of what N810 is and why it's such a powerful tool. 05:31.850 --> 05:34.010 So let's break down some of its key features. 05:34.330 --> 05:37.690 In other words, N810 is Visual Workflow Builder. 05:38.010 --> 05:39.330 So it's super easy to use. 05:39.810 --> 05:47.450 You just drag and drop things onto the screen like building blocks and connect them to create your automation. 05:48.570 --> 05:51.210 So each step in automation is called a node. 05:51.730 --> 05:53.250 Think of a node like a task. 05:53.450 --> 05:59.290 It could be something simple like sending an email, updating a spreadsheet, or getting data from another 05:59.330 --> 06:01.170 app to another node. 06:03.730 --> 06:08.920 What's really cool is that you can see how data flow within workflows. 06:09.280 --> 06:14.080 So when you run an automation and it shows you what's happening at every step. 06:14.360 --> 06:18.120 So if something doesn't work, you will know exactly where the problem is. 06:18.360 --> 06:20.040 So you can easily fix the bugs. 06:21.880 --> 06:24.560 Nathan has something called community nodes. 06:24.880 --> 06:28.720 These are integrations created by people in the community. 06:28.960 --> 06:31.160 So there is always new stuff being added. 06:31.680 --> 06:38.000 And if you are working with an app that is not on the list, you can connect to almost any app using 06:38.040 --> 06:39.240 API integrations. 06:39.520 --> 06:46.440 I will explain APIs in a future lesson, but for now, just know that it means that you can connect 06:46.440 --> 06:48.280 Nathan to pretty much anything. 06:51.680 --> 06:53.720 Now this is where it gets really exciting. 06:53.960 --> 06:57.840 Nathan lets you integrate AI directly into your workflows. 06:58.000 --> 07:05.240 That means you can use large language models like GPT, cloud, Gemini, and others right inside N810, 07:05.560 --> 07:09.340 making them the brains of your AI agents in your automations. 07:10.380 --> 07:15.780 You can automate tasks like content creation, customer support, lead generation, and much more, 07:16.180 --> 07:17.260 all powered by AI. 07:17.700 --> 07:23.820 And even if the AI tool you want to use is not built into N810 yet, you can still connect it using 07:23.860 --> 07:24.420 APIs. 07:25.100 --> 07:26.180 Now quick recap. 07:26.500 --> 07:34.580 Today we learned what N810 is and how it compares to other automation tools its key features. 07:34.860 --> 07:39.140 So now we know that N810 is the visual workflow builder. 07:39.820 --> 07:46.540 It has a lot of native integrations, so dedicated nodes to connect to other apps and services. 07:47.140 --> 07:49.900 It has strong community support. 07:50.540 --> 07:56.780 And also you can easily implement AI capabilities to make your automations even more powerful. 07:57.380 --> 08:04.020 In the next episode, we'll dive into the N810 interface and explore all the components like nodes, 08:04.060 --> 08:10.100 triggers, connections, workflows, and how they work together to create awesome automations.
