🚀 Unlock parallel execution in your n8n automations and cut run-times to a fraction of sequential flows.
In this step-by-step tutorial I break down how to split work across multiple OpenAI calls, merge the results intelligently, and keep your agent-style workflows both fast and reliable.
What You’ll Learn 👀
- Parallel vs. Sequential: Why parallelization matters for speed, cost, and resilience.
- Sectioning vs. Voting Patterns: Two battle-tested strategies from Anthropic’s Building Effective Agents and when to use each.
- Live n8n Walk-Through: Watch me build the flow, set up Merge nodes, and debug common pitfalls.
- Real-World Demo: Parallelize an AI content pipeline that queries Hacker News, ranks headlines, and posts to Slack.
Pro Tips: Handling rate limits, ordering results, and scaling to bigger datasets.
