About

n8n is a fair-code workflow automation platform with native AI capabilities. Build agents and workflows visually on a canvas, drop into custom code when you need to, and connect to outside apps and APIs. Every step of an agent's reasoning stays traceable on the canvas. Self-host with Docker or run on n8n Cloud.
