N8N

n8n is an AI workflow automation platform for technical teams that lets you build and control AI agents and multi-step workflows. You can create workflows visually, then go deeper with code when you need it—while keeping every step of an agent’s reasoning traceable on the canvas.

Use n8n to connect AI models to your own data and workflows, enforce structured inputs/outputs, and keep humans in the loop with approvals and guardrails. It supports handling complex AI setups like multi-agent systems and RAG while integrating with both cloud and offline models.

Deploy where you want: run on your infrastructure with an on-prem, fully source-available option, or use a hosted version. With features like SSO (SAML and LDAP), encrypted secret stores, RBAC, audit logs, workflow history, and git-based collaboration, n8n is designed to help teams build, monitor, and scale automations with security and governance.

Can I self-host n8n on-premises?

Yes. n8n supports fully on-prem deployment so you can run the system on your infrastructure, including options like Docker-based setup.

How does n8n support AI governance and human-in-the-loop control?

You can enforce structured inputs/outputs for AI steps and combine human approvals with rule-based automation to contain what AI is allowed to do.

What development options does n8n offer?

You can build in a visual editor and also write JavaScript or Python directly in your workflows. It also supports extending workflows with npm/ Python libraries and lets you paste cURL requests for API interactions.

How can I test and debug AI workflows?

Use replay or mock data to test workflows without waiting on external systems, re-run single steps, and inspect logs to speed up iteration and troubleshooting.

How many integrations and templates are available?

n8n offers 500+ integrations and 1700+ templates to help you start quickly and connect common apps such as Google Sheets, MySQL, Slack, Discord, and Postgres.

Can n8n be embedded into another product or offered with customer branding?

Yes. n8n provides an embed option that enables automation for your customers using your branding.
