Move from Basic Autocomplete to AI-Powered Development Workflows Most developers think AI assistance begins and ends with autocomplete suggestions. But after building everything from complete web applications to voice interfaces using AI tools, I've discovered workflows that transform how we approach development entirely. This isn't about replacing human skills - it's about augmenting them to tackle more ambitious problems, learn faster, and ship better software. Whether you're skeptical about AI or already using basic tools, here's your roadmap from simple suggestions to AI-powered development workflows.

From Idea to Intelligent Running Coach: Vibe Coding with n8n and AI I set out to make my mornings easier and build something fun: a personal running coach that lands in my inbox at 6am. Using n8n Cloud to orchestrate APIs, Cursor to generate the workflows and code nodes, and Gemini to turn weather data into clear coaching advice, I wired up a simple scoring model, friendly analysis, and a nicely styled email (yes, the AI handled the email CSS). This is a practical walkthrough of the approach—less handwritten code, more connecting services—what worked, what didn’t, and why this pattern feels like where everyday developer automation is headed.

Reducing latency in AI Speech Synthesis AI-powered speech synthesis is getting incredibly realistic. This opens up many possibilities to generate realistic audio based on the text you provide. Whilst relatively fast, the latency still isn’t low enough for “real-time synthesis”. Let’s optimise that!
