I see n8n everywhere and while I love automation I can’t think of a use case, that couldn’t be realized in Bash instead.

So I’m wondering, if you use n8n what are you using it for?

      No it’s not?

      n8n gives you more freedom to implement multi-step AI agents and integrate apps than any other tool.

      🤷‍♂️ Guess their frontpage is full of shit then.

        could be one of those cases where the product predates ai but some c-level asked an engineer “could we use this for ai” and the engineer said “i mean, technically yes” and then marketing changed every single mention of the product

            yeah this project has been on github for six years and seems to have been closed source before that. it’s a graphical automation tool.

            like, everything can be used with ai. github itself has “ai agent” plastered everywhere. it’s just a buzzword. doesn’t mean it’s built specifically for ai.

              But it does make it its elevator pitch, so call me not interested. And that’s fine.
