Discover how n8n can revolutionize the world of IBM i RPG programming by seamlessly bridging your trusted legacy logic with the most powerful AI and automation tools available today—all while keeping your data and business rules secure, under your control, and perfectly integrated with your existing systems. Imagine transforming your RPG workflows overnight: automate reporting, streamline compliance, and connect with everything from Slack and Google Workspace to advanced AI agents—without migrating your core business or writing mountains of new code. This session will show how you can harness AI-powered automation to streamline business processes, save time on manual work, and support smarter decision-making across a range of scenarios. You’ll see how flexible tools like n8n enable organizations to boost productivity, reduce errors, and adapt workflows to real business needs—demonstrating the practical value of connecting your core systems to the next generation of AI solutions. n8n is a powerful free and source-available workflow automation platform that helps you seamlessly connect different apps, APIs, and business services, automating repetitive tasks and data flows—all in a visual, drag-and-drop editor that both non-technical teams and developers can use. Much like Zapier, n8n lets you create custom automations triggered by events (such as new emails, form submissions, or database updates), but stands out by offering far greater flexibility, developer-friendly features (like scripting and custom code), and the option to self-host for total data privacy and control. With hundreds of integrations, n8n brings enterprise-grade automation and AI power to any business environment, from simple notifications to complex, multi-step processes—all without requiring you to lock into a single vendor’s system.
