What You Learn
The Character Bible. The API. The n8n pipeline. The data.
Level 2 delivers four capabilities that Level 1 does not have: a documented visual identity system for every artist (the Character Bible), programmatic video generation via the Vertex AI API (eliminating the Flow UI for production batches), a fully automated n8n workflow that runs without operator intervention, and an analytics system that feeds data back into production decisions. These four capabilities together define what separates a content creator from a content operation.
You finish Level 2 with a Google Drive Character Bible, a working Vertex AI API credential, an n8n workflow JSON you can re-deploy, a cost analysis spreadsheet with break-even projection, and one month of performance data with a documented production change based on that data.
Prerequisites
Level 1 complete. Google Cloud account. n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud).
Level 2 requires completion of Google Flow Level 1 or equivalent production experience with the Flow platform. You need a Google Cloud account with Vertex AI enabled (pay-as-you-go billing), an n8n instance (self-hosted free or n8n Cloud at $24/month), and a Google Drive Character Bible folder structure from Level 1.
Sessions 6 and 7 (Vertex AI API and n8n Integration) are the most technically demanding in the curriculum. If you are not comfortable with Python or API credentials, plan to spend additional time on these sessions. The n8n visual interface significantly reduces the Python coding requirement — you need to write and run one Python test script; the rest is configuration.
