Weather Report Automation
I dedicated my entire weekend to this project. Along the way, I learned the difference between AI automation and AI agents in detail.
In a Gen Z way think of it like this: AI automation is like knowing you should show love to your partner but not knowing how or when .You might just do it on autopilot, maybe even at the wrong time. But an AI agent is like knowing exactly when to shower your partner with attention or when to just listen quietly. It’s smart and adaptive, hehehaha.
I built this project on the n8n platform. In this automation, I learned how to use the HTTP Request node. Used the Code node to run custom JavaScript code and make the automation more powerful. I also set up a database in Airtable to store and track my data.
Here’s what my project does: I can select a location from a dropdown list, and the automation fetches today’s high and low temperatures for that location. Once I get the data, I map those values to my Airtable database, so I can track all my past runs and keep a history of the weather data.

What's next?
Building more AI agents not because it’s innovative or world-changing, but because I genuinely want to work with real clients.
The weird part isn’t that I’m doing it ,the weird part is that I’m actually enjoying it. My peaceful life of endlessly scrolling until my eyes hurt is experiencing serious FOMO but somehow, this chaos feels....better.
Who knows where this leads, but at least it’s not boring.
See you TOMORROW la!
