I see n8n everywhere and while I love automation I can’t think of a use case, that couldn’t be realized in Bash instead.
So I’m wondering, if you use n8n what are you using it for?

No it’s not?
🤷♂️ Guess their frontpage is full of shit then.
could be one of those cases where the product predates ai but 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 does afaik, was around for some years while the AI usecase is very recent.
Possibly 🤷♂️ As soon as I see AI agent, I stop reading.
yeah this project has been on github for six years and seems to have been closed source before that. it’s a graphical automation tool.
like, everything can be used with ai. github itself has “ai agent” plastered everywhere. it’s just a buzzword. doesn’t mean it’s built specifically for ai.
But it does make it its elevator pitch, so call me not interested. And that’s fine.
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
Marketing matters. I am not interested. And that’s fine. I don’t have any use for this product, AI or no AI. Everyone can go about their business now and relax all your efforts to make me interested in this. Thank you for showing me that respect.
