Master Workflow Automation & Build AI Agents
The ultimate resource for learning n8n. Connect 1,000+ apps, self-host your data, and deploy autonomous agents without writing complex code.
What is n8n?
n8n is a leading fair-code workflow automation tool that empowers you to connect apps, automate processes, and build advanced AI agents with a visual, node-based editor.
Unlike closed-source alternatives, n8n stands out by offering self-hosting capabilities, strict data security, and a fair pricing model based on workflow executions rather than individual steps.
Fair-Code License
Keep your data secure by self-hosting on your own infrastructure or use n8n cloud for convenience.
Our Core Solutions
From simple data syncing to complex AI reasoning.
AI Agents
Build autonomous agents using LangChain integration. Create bots that can reason, extract data, and interact with LLMs like GPT-4.
Workflow Automation
Connect over 1,000+ apps including Google Sheets, Slack, and PostgreSQL. Automate repetitive tasks without writing code.
Self-Hosting
Deploy n8n on your own servers (Docker, Kubernetes) for complete control over your data and infrastructure compliance.
Visual Node Editor
Stop writing boilerplate code. Use the drag-and-drop editor to map data between services visually.
- 1000+ Native Integrations – Connect everything from Google Sheets to Slack instantly.
- Custom JavaScript Nodes – Add custom logic whenever you need it.
- Debugging Tools – Inspect data flow in real-time.
Advanced AI Capabilities
n8n is AI-native. Use specific nodes for OpenAI, HuggingFace, and vector databases to build smart applications.
- LangChain Support – Build complex LLM chains easily.
- Memory & Context – Create agents that remember past conversations.
- Document Loaders – Ingest PDFs, text files, and Notion pages.
Code when you need it, UI when you don't
Other tools limit you to either a visual building experience, or code. With n8n, you get the best of both worlds.
- Write JavaScript or Python - you can always fall back to code
- Add libraries from npm or Python for even more power
- Paste cURL requests into your workflow
- Merge workflow branches, don’t just split them
Run. Tweak. Repeat
The same short feedback loops that make you smile at your scripts.
- Re-run single steps without re-running the whole workflow
- Replay or mock data to avoid waiting for external systems
- Debug fast, with logs in line with your code
- Use 1700+ templates to jump-start your project
