The automation platform for developers: self-hostable, code-friendly and built for AI workflows.
n8n is the automation platform that developers recommend to each other. Source-available, self-hostable and priced per seat rather than per task, it changes the economics of high-volume automation.
Its native AI support — LangChain nodes, model connectors, agent workflows — makes it a serious home for agentic systems, not just app glue.
