Building AI Agents - The AI Agent Starts Building the Business Episode #7

In Episode 7, Hermes starts doing real work inside the BuildWithPXL AI infrastructure stack.

We move beyond planning and begin wiring together the first user-facing AI experience for the platform. Hermes helps build the initial waitlist flow, connect the app to a private n8n workflow, create a Lead Agent demo users can try, and tighten the Cloudflare permissions needed to protect the whole setup.

The goal is simple: show what it looks like when an AI agent is not just answering questions, but actually helping operate and build production infrastructure.

In this episode, we work through:

- setting up the initial waiting list experience
- creating the Lead Agent demo flow
- connecting the frontend to a private n8n workflow
- adding controlled lead-search fields for safer user input
- expanding Cloudflare API token scope for tunnel and access work
- protecting n8n behind Cloudflare Access instead of exposing it publicly
- wiring callback logic so n8n can return enriched lead results to the app
- polishing the demo result modal so users can see the value clearly

We are getting close to the final production AI infrastructure setup. After this, the main focus is bringing the production VPS online, matching the staging architecture, and locking everything down for the full BuildWithPXL tutorial series.
