(I get kickback if you sign up here - thank you!) https://n8n.partnerlinks.io/22crlu8afq5r AI agents are powerful, but here’s the problem—most people are using them when they don’t need to. If your process is deterministic, predictable, and follows a set of structured steps, then an AI workflow is almost always the better option. In this video, I break down the key differences between AI workflows and AI agents, why forcing an agent into a simple process is a mistake, and how switching to a workflow can make your automations cheaper, more consistent, and more scalable. I’ll also show real examples in n8n where I initially built an AI agent, only to realize that a workflow could do the job better.
