Open-source workflow automation with AI agents
n8n is an open-source, self-hostable workflow automation platform that has become a favorite among developers and technical teams for building custom AI-powered automations. Unlike Zapier or Make, n8n gives you full control over your data and code. In 2026, n8n added native AI agent capabilities, letting you build autonomous AI workflows that chain LLM calls (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models), retrieve data from vector stores, execute tools, and make decisions. The visual workflow editor supports JavaScript/Python code nodes, branching, loops, error handling, and sub-workflows. With 400+ integrations and the ability to create custom nodes, n8n handles everything from simple data syncing to complex AI agent pipelines. Self-hosting means your data never leaves your infrastructure.
Self-hosted is completely free and open source. n8n Cloud starts at $24/month for 2,500 workflow executions. Enterprise plans available.
