N8N

n8n helps you build AI agents and multi-step workflows you can follow end-to-end. You can open any step to see what it does, so your team can understand, explain, and safely run the automations you create. This makes it easier to hand workflows off without losing context.

Build with a visual workflow builder, then drop into code whenever you need more control. n8n connects AI models and your systems while supporting structured inputs/outputs and human-in-the-loop approvals when you need guardrails. For more complex projects, you can organize work as multi-agent and knowledge-style workflows.

You can also run n8n in a way that fits your organization—hosted or fully on-prem. For enterprise teams, n8n focuses on security and governance with SSO (SAML and LDAP), encrypted secret stores, RBAC permissions, and audit logs. You also get workflow history and observability features like log streaming to your SIEM and real-time alerts.

To accelerate development, n8n offers 500+ native integrations plus the ability to call any API via HTTP, enabling connection to “just about any tool.” Explore templates and use logs, run replay, and mocking to troubleshoot without waiting on external systems.
