Introduction to AI Agents with n8n Visual LowCode plattform and FileMaker as presented in Vienna at Vienna Calling 2025 conference.

What if your workflow platform could think? At Vienna Calling, I showed how it’s done – live on stage.
In this session, we explored how to build powerful AI agents using the n8n LowCode platform – with zero hassle and a lot of control. Buzzwords like Agentic Workflows, RAG, MCP, and Vibecoding weren’t just mentioned – they were brought to life in real use cases.
We kicked off with an introduction to n8n and its ability to orchestrate modern LLMs and external tools through visual workflows. With just a few clicks, we connected APIs, documents, and business logic – including a seamless integration with FileMaker Server via the Data API.
Also included: building a RAG pipeline that allows an AI chatbot to search through all MBS plugin documentation and blog posts to build an assistant for FileMaker devs. We used Gemini Flash to extract structured JSON from multi-page PDFs – making invoices machine-readable for downstream processing in FileMaker.
Building AI agents with just a few clicks – adding brain, memory, and tools to orchestrate a workflow. Claude and ChatGPT were tasked with understanding natural language queries – and figuring out, on their own, how to query external tools like Google Calendar or Google Mail together with a FileMaker database via prompt-based reasoning. No hard-coded logic, just smart system prompts.
Finally, we explored how to wrap a FileMaker solution in an MCP Server, enabling it to deliver custom logic to an external AI agent like Claude Desktop – going beyond FileMaker data and turning it into a fully integrated backend brain. Within the demo, the agent was able to reason about different business cases and take actions of its own – to prepare customer communication, draft emails, and set up meeting events in a calendar using just natural language commands.
Feels like magic, but it actually works today!
n8n workflows + LLMs + FileMaker logic wrapped in MCP – all running in one agent, live.

There is no session recording available yet – so you’ll miss out on the live demos. Unless you’re one of the lucky ones who attended the conference.
Even without the recording, the slides are full of insights and great starting points for your own AI agent journey. Check out the links below.
P.S. If your brain overheated while diving into the hype cycle, cool down with some Falco tunes from Vienna.
