Fair-code workflow automation with AI — connect 400+ services and build agentic flows.
In the founder's own words — what this project is, and why it matters.
n8n is a workflow automation tool that gives technical teams the flexibility of code with the speed of no-code. It features 400+ integrations, a visual node-based editor, and first-class AI support for building LLM-powered chains and autonomous agents. Unlike purely cloud-based tools, n8n can be self-hosted, giving you full control over data. Features include sub-workflows, error handling, credential management, version history, execution logs, and an embed mode for building automation-powered products. Used by 60,000+ organisations.
Walk the real path from first touch to done — the big frame is the product itself, and you decide what to look at.
Connect anything with 400+ integrations and a visual workflow editor.

100k+ stars with a sustainable-use license is the honest tradeoff. You get full source access, self-hosting capability, and a genuinely mature automation engine — but you can't run a hosted n8n competitor. For internal use and product automation, that's completely fine. The AI agent nodes are particularly well-thought-out for LLM chaining.
