n8n

About

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform that uniquely combines AI capabilities with business process automation, giving technical teams the flexibility of code with the speed of no-code. With 500+ native integrations and the ability to write custom JavaScript or Python within any workflow, n8n lets you build everything from simple Zapier-style automations to complex AI agent pipelines. The platform supports self-hosting for complete data control or can run on n8n's managed cloud. Key AI features include native LLM nodes for OpenAI, Anthropic, and other providers, AI agent workflows with tool use, RAG pipelines, and vector store integrations. n8n's visual workflow editor makes it easy to design, test, and debug complex multi-step automations. Enterprise features include SSO, RBAC, audit logs, git-based version control, and isolated environments. With over 60,000 GitHub stars and a massive community, n8n has become the go-to automation platform for developers and technical teams who need more power than Zapier but less complexity than custom code.
