n8n is a workflow automation tool where you connect apps and services on a visual canvas. Each step is a node, and you can mix ready-made integrations with code when you need more control. It also has AI agent nodes for building workflows that use language models.
You can run it on your own server or use the hosted cloud version. That self-hosting option is a major reason technical teams choose it over other automation tools.
