What is N8N?

It is essentially a workflow automation platform.

I suppose it is self explanatory, but to get concepts right, a workflow automation platform helps you automate processes (or parts of processes). The objective is to "remove the human element" - reduce manual errors, cut costs, etc.

The capability in this field determines what can and cannot be automated. Obviously, to automate a process, you will have to "code" it, you need to be able to define monitors, triggers, decision-making points and clear actions with respect to these.

The interesting part of N8N is that you can incorporate an AI Agent to your flow. I started playing around with it, let's see where it goes.
