Anything that puts on the front page of its project site the use case for itself to relate to AI agents instantly makes me suspicious and not interested. I can’t help it.
I get it. Some of us are staunch anti-ai. That’s fine. I am not an n8n sales person, but I just wanted to make it clear, there are two versions and you can integrate a host of thing into it. Personally, I would run the AI version with a private AI that doesn’t need an external LLM. But my equipment is not that new and it takes some power to run AI efficiently and effectively. No issues with anyone, it just seemed that there was some confusion.
could be one of those cases where 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
It’s automation. Skim the link I sent. Something pops up in a log file or an API returns X instead of Y and you can do some logic based on that. Send yourself an email, ping another API, etc. Sure, you can use it to query an LLM API but that’s just marketing. Frontpages are marketing, yes

n8n can be run with the assistance of AI, and n8n can also be run without AI.

🤷♂️ Guess their frontpage is full of shit then.

The comment was wrong. It’s an automation tool. It can use ai, but its not the primary focus.
victorz@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Wrong?
It’s the main pitch, bro. It’s the primary focus.

You’re welcome, and I’m not wrong.
