The Software Development Special Interest Group (SD-SIG) invites the Cornell developer community to its next Developer Excellence Workshop on Thursday, January 15, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. The upcoming workshop showcases Cornell's new automated workflow platform: the AI Agent Studio, powered by n8n. This low-code automation tool enables "citizen developers" across campus to build workflow automations and AI agents without deep programming expertise. 

What to Expect

This platform will eventually be available to departments across campus, enabling a new generation of "citizen developers" to automate their business processes. Understanding n8n now means:

• Being prepared: Get ahead of the curve before campus-wide rollout.
• Thinking strategically: Start identifying automation opportunities in your unit.
• Building skills: Learn the platform so you can prototype solutions or guide others.
• Connecting with AI: n8n provides a practical, low risk way to integrate AI into existing work.

This will be a hands-on demonstration (approximately 30 minutes) followed by Q&A. Bring your questions about:

• Potential automation use cases in your department.
• Security and data governance considerations.
• Integration possibilities with existing Cornell systems.
• The "citizen developer" model and how IT can support it.
