Real Demo Playbook

Use this playbook when you want a real, credible public demo instead of a static repository tour.

Goal

Show a full path from plain-English request to final n8n workflow handoff in less than five minutes.

Suggested demo storyline

1. Start in the terminal with a connected MCP-capable client.
2. Paste a short brief with one trigger, one transformation, and one notification path.
3. Let the agent ask only one to three critical follow-up questions.
4. Show the normalized plan before the build happens.
5. Switch to n8n and show the created workflow.
6. End with the final implementation report.

Best demo characteristics

• one trigger
• two to five core nodes
• one error path
• one obvious business outcome
• one missing credential called out cleanly

Good public demo candidates

• support triage to Slack
• invoice reminder workflow
• lead enrichment with CRM update
• Slack to Notion intake sorter

What to avoid

• giant workflows with many credentials
• fragile scraping flows
• binary-heavy flows for the first public demo
• human approval loops during the live build
• anything that needs ten minutes of setup before value appears

Demo capture checklist

• terminal font large enough to read in social clips
• n8n canvas zoom at readable level
• one file or pane open with the implementation report
• timestamps or release tags hidden if they look messy
• fake or test credentials only

Suggested timing

• 30s context
• 60s planning
• 90s build
• 45s n8n review
• 30s final report and next steps

Closing line

"Describe the workflow. The agent asks only what matters, builds via MCP, and hands back something usable."
