What is n8n?
n8n is an open-source, AI-native workflow automation platform built *by developers, for developers* — with enterprise teams in mind. Unlike traditional low-code tools, n8n embeds generative AI directly into its execution engine, letting technical users orchestrate intelligent, multi-step automations that reason, adapt, and act. Whether you're chaining LLM calls, transforming unstructured data, or building autonomous agents, n8n delivers full-stack control — from visual node-based design to inline JavaScript/Python logic — all while supporting self-hosted AI models and zero-trust deployment options.
How to use n8n?
Build workflows your way: drag-and-drop nodes for rapid prototyping, or drop into code mode for granular control over AI prompts, API payloads, and error handling. Seamlessly connect any large language model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, local Llama), inject dynamic context from databases or documents, and compose branching logic with conditional routing and parallel execution. With real-time step-by-step replay, mock input injection, and live variable inspection, debugging feels like coding — not guesswork. Jumpstart complex AI pipelines with over 1,700 production-ready templates — from Slack summarization bots to SOC triage assistants.
