For Builders: Context Engineering with n8n, Guided by a Reddit Engineer
On your path to AI engineering, the next stop is context — the layer that turns a model from generalist to expert.
Join Sree Govindankutty from Reddit for a hands-on session on how to:
Connect APIs and structure contextual data for accuracy.
Build adaptive workflows that make AI production-ready.
Turn a generic model into a domain expert trained on your data.
RSVP here. Limited seats, hands-on format.
