📌 Building AI Systems Locally with N8N and Supabase 🚀 | Developer & Non-Developer Friendly Setup
Setting up AI systems locally doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. In this video, I’ll walk you through how to run N8N and Supabase on your machine for free - whether you're a developer or not.
You'll learn how to quickly spin up a local environment perfect for testing AI workflows, building automations, and connecting your stack without paying for services just to experiment.
This is ideal for SMB owners, AI-curious developers, and tech-forward teams who want to rapidly prototype automations or LLM-powered tools.
Inspired by the brilliant Cole Medin, I simplified and customized the workflow so you can iterate faster - and smarter.
You’ll Learn:
👉 How to set up N8N & Supabase locally (no paid tiers required)
👉 How to run it with or without developer experience
👉 How to connect them for AI & automation workflows
👉 How to troubleshoot and validate connections
