In a few words
n8n is a visual automation platform for building AI workflows and agents connected to your tools, data, and APIs. Add logic, human approvals, and—when needed—JavaScript or Python code.
For developers, technical teams, and organisations that want to integrate AI into existing processes rather than use only a chat interface. Cloud avoids installation; self-hosting needs infrastructure skills.
What you can do with it
Create your own agent
The AI Agent node lets you build an agent with a chat model and tools.
In the toolConnect an agent to applications or data
More than 500 integrations and custom API connections are advertised; each connection must be configured.
With an additional connectionCode and build applications
JavaScript or Python code can be added to workflows when visual configuration is insufficient.
In the toolConcrete examples
Create a tool-using agent
Configure an agent that queries this API and then drafts a response from the result.
The AI Agent node documents a chat model and one or more tools; the API and credentials must be configured in the workflow.
Example based on a documented featureStructure an output
Return the response in this JSON schema: subject, priority, and next_action.
The Structured Output Parser documents JSON Schema-based output, with limitations on some references.

What you can send and get
Workflow data is handled as arrays of objects and binary data is Base64 encoded. JSON and JSON Schema are the explicitly documented formats; no exhaustive media list is established.
Agents and automation
Agent creation is real but configured: connect a chat model and one or more tools to the AI Agent node. Prompts, memory, triggers, APIs, data, and MCP can be added according to the workflow.

FR — Les workflows s’exportent et s’importent en JSON; les sorties IA structurées peuvent utiliser JSON Schema, sans prise en charge de $ref. Entre nœuds, les données sont des tableaux d’objets; les binaires sont Base64 avec métadonnées facultatives. Le paquet .n8np est en préversion. Les exports JSON peuvent inclure noms et identifiants de credentials: retirez ou anonymisez-les avant partage. La licence gratuite ne permet pas de supposer une redistribution ou offre gérée commerciale sans revue. EN — Workflows export and import as JSON; structured AI output can use JSON Schema, without $ref support. Between nodes, data is arrays of objects; binary data is Base64 with optional metadata. The .n8np package is preview. JSON exports can include credential names and IDs: remove or anonymise them before sharing. The free licence does not permit assuming commercial redistribution or managed offering without review.
