The choice for technical teams that want control. n8n is an open-source workflow automation tool with strong AI agent nodes, so you can connect a model to hundreds of apps and APIs, add logic and human checkpoints, and run the whole thing on your own servers. It is the middle ground between a no-code builder and writing your own framework.
It expects more comfort with logic and data than the pure no-code tools, and self-hosting is a real commitment. For a team that wants agents plumbed into their own systems, and to own the result, it is hard to beat on flexibility and price.
