n8n

Product overview

n8n is an open-source automation platform that has evolved into one of Europe's most used tools for building AI-powered workflows. Its visual node-based editor lets teams connect over 400 applications and orchestrate LLM calls, AI agents, and multi-step automations without deep programming knowledge. Over 75% of workflows on the platform now involve AI model integrations, reflecting its shift from traditional automation toward AI orchestration. The platform operates on a fair-code model: the Community Edition is free and self-hostable, while cloud and enterprise plans add managed hosting, team collaboration, and compliance features. Self-hosting gives organizations full control over data and infrastructure. The cloud version runs on Azure in Frankfurt, Germany. n8n includes a dedicated Mistral AI integration node, and users can connect to self-hosted models via Ollama or to models on Hugging Face. OVHcloud has published a reference architecture for running sovereign RAG workflows on n8n using Mistral Large on European infrastructure. Founded in Berlin in 2019 by Jan Oberhauser, n8n raised $240 million through October 2025, reaching a $2.5 billion valuation. Investors include Sequoia, Accel, and NVentures (NVIDIA). The platform serves over 3,000 enterprises including Volkswagen, Delivery Hero, Decathlon, and KPMG, with over 230,000 active users.
