hello darkness my old friend
No need for a menty b with infra that's EZ. 😅💻🌩️ 85% of series A rounds in October were for AI Startups. If that's you, DigitalOcean's AI Startup Ecosystem can help you build and scale your AI startup—without typical cloud cost barriers. ✨

How do you authenticate users in your n8n workflows? 🔑 It's a critical (and confusing) part of building secure automations, especially when handling sensitive info. My new video tackles this exact challenge! Check it out 👇 piped.video/watch?v=mvnA-kwO…
Authentication with magic links in n8n 👇 In Lesson 7 of my n8n crash course, you'll learn about magic links and constructing magic link tokens. It's a short watch but crucial for the auth workflow we're building! (And Lesson 8 is already up! 😉) piped.video/watch?v=N0fFCq1i…

What's crispier: an autumn leaf or audio & images generated by @fal's models? 🍁🤖🤔 See for yourself using the DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform. These multimodal AI models, now in public preview, allow you to generate images & audio directly through an API, making it easier than ever to build AI-powered apps.
I built an automation using LLMs that: 🏆 Instantly ranks new leads (High, Med, Low) via BANT 🤖 Auto-sends a *tailored* email for each ⚡️ Sets expectations based on priority (Check out the example email for a High-priority lead 👇)
Automated doesn't mean impersonal. But how do you automate sales authentically?
n8n's AI agent nodes are powerful, but how do all the pieces work together? 🤔 My new video breaks down all the working pieces of a RAG agent in n8n 🤖

A knowledge base is one of the most essential components to a good AI agent Building a knowledge base *can* be painful, but it doesn't *have* to be
Replying to @r_o_connor @n8n_io
I'll be posting the back half of the course over the next weekish!

You need to get on the @n8n_io train. It's that good. 🚂 It's an open-source automation platform with incredible AI support, and I just released a new crash course to get you started! Here’s a 90-second overview of what we'll build 👇 piped.video/watch?v=BLG9kpUC…

Great to learn from @traversal_ai at #DODeploy how they implemented their architecture including many LLMs & agents on @digitalocean to handle current context window technical limitations and still build reliable SRE agents

Happy @hacktoberfest! The world is built on open source. From widely-used packages like @FFmpeg to crucial tools like @firefox and @reactjs, the web stands on the shoulders of open source giants.

Congrats @laravelphp on launching Laravel VPS, powered by #DigitalOcean. ✨ #Laravel has leveraged DigitalOcean’s infrastructure to achieve enterprise-scale while maintaining a cost effective solution and simplifying the end-user experience. 🔗 do.co/4nBSs5k
Kicking off the keynote for @digitalocean #DODeploy in London this morning! Finally I can start talking about all the fun AI/ML & Agents stuff I've been hacking on lately and what early access customers are building 🚀

Nano banana is wilddd 🍌 I generated some videos from nano banana images using @StabilityAI's img2vid model on a @digitalocean GPU droplet The results are... interesting Watch the full vid 👉 piped.video/watch?v=7wS0ArX8…
Don't let a single API error crash your @LangChainAI app 💥 Build in resilience with automatic LLM fallback! My new tutorial shows how to seamlessly switch between models when one fails, using a single API key from @digitalocean 👇 piped.video/watch?v=6Ff6AUvq…
