Think "Ocean's Eleven," but with AI. 🤖 The holy grail of automation—a team of specialized AI agents working together on a single mission—is now surprisingly easy to build in n8n, no code required.

We’ll talk about:

• The complete guide to building an "Agent Swarm" in n8n, where a main Orchestrator agent delegates tasks to a team of specialized AI sub-agents.
• How a recent game-changing n8n update makes this possible in a single, unified workflow—a massive improvement over older methods.
• A real-world "Executive Assistant Swarm" in action, showing how it can autonomously handle a complex request involving web research, contact lookup, and sending emails.
• The crucial distinction between a "Mission" (which requires a dynamic Swarm) and a "Process" (which is better for a simple, linear workflow).
• The 3 most common pitfalls when building swarms and the exact fixes, including the magic of adding {{$now}} to your prompt to prevent "time-traveling" agents.
