Episode notes
From Make To n8n Breakthrough
- Mark Kashef moved from Make to n8n after discovering n8n's open-source JSON and easier custom code handling.
- He built a prompt-to-workflow process that let language models draft n8n JSON, accelerating migrations and ideation.
Diagram Then Prompt For Faster Builds
- Map a business problem into a mermaid diagram first to clarify steps and tools needed.
- Then feed that diagram and chosen tools into an LLM to draft an n8n workflow before building.
Claude Often Produces Cleaner Workflow Drafts
