n8n is a workflow automation platform founded in 2019 and headquartered in Berlin. It enables technical teams to build automations by combining artificial intelligence capabilities with business process automation, offering both the flexibility of code-first development and the speed of no-code configuration. The platform supports multi-step AI agents and enterprise-grade orchestration without platform-imposed limits.
The platform operates under a fair-code model with visible source code and offers over 500 integrations to connect apps and APIs. Users can deploy n8n through self-hosting for complete data control or use n8n Cloud as a managed alternative. This flexibility appeals to organisations prioritising data sovereignty alongside operational convenience.
