n8n

n8n is a workflow automation platform for technical teams that want more control than a typical no-code tool. It sits in the workflow automation category and is designed to connect apps, APIs, and internal systems while still letting you drop into code when a workflow needs more logic.

According to the README, n8n supports both self-hosted deployments and a cloud offering, and it includes 400+ integrations plus native AI capabilities. Setup can start locally with npx n8n, or you can run it with Docker and open the editor in a browser. The project is source-available under a fair-code license rather than a standard permissive open-source license.

n8n is strongest when you need practical automation with technical flexibility: visual building for speed, code for edge cases, and enterprise controls like SSO, permissions, and air-gapped deployments. It also appears well suited for teams building AI-assisted workflows, especially those using LangChain-based agents with their own data and models.

What is less clear from the page is pricing, model support details, and the exact limits of the AI features. The docs mention native AI capabilities, but they do not specify which model providers are supported or whether local models are officially supported. If you do not want to self-host, or you need a very simple consumer-focused automation tool, n8n may be more than you need. Pricing was not publicly available in the crawled content.
