What is n8n?
n8n is a source-available (fair-code) platform for building workflow automations and AI agents with a node-based visual editor. The ability to add JavaScript or Python code when needed and to self-host it gives technical teams flexibility. It has spread rapidly among privacy-conscious companies and developers. The community edition can be self-hosted for free.
