AI Agents with n8n
AI agents that actually do the work in your processes — built on n8n, with full control over your data.
- Companies that want their own AI agents tailored to their processes, not an off-the-shelf box with no control over the logic.
- Customer support teams overwhelmed by repetitive questions, looking to offload the first line without losing quality.
- Sales and SDR teams needing automated qualification and round-the-clock first-touch handling of leads.
- Organizations with sensitive data that prefer self-hosting and full control over where their information goes.
An AI agent is more than a chatbot — it is a workflow that can reason, reach for tools, call APIs, read your knowledge base and make decisions step by step. We build these agents on n8n because it gives a clear, visual flow (nodes), full control over data when self-hosted, and no vendor lock-in. We connect agents to OpenAI, Anthropic or local models, integrate them with your CRM, Slack, WhatsApp and email, and then host and maintain everything with monitoring and logging. We start from a concrete use case and a measurable outcome, not from a technology demo.
What you get
Agents with real tools
Agents don't just answer — they call tools: query APIs, create CRM records, send messages and perform concrete actions in your systems.
Agentic workflows in n8n
We build the agent's logic as a clear, visual flow of nodes. It is easy to extend, audit and change without rewriting everything from scratch.
Company knowledge (RAG)
Internal assistants answer based on your documentation, procedures and knowledge base — citing sources instead of making things up.
Integrations with your systems
We connect agents to your CRM, Slack, WhatsApp, email and any API. The agent works where your team and your customers already are.
Multi-agent orchestration
We split complex tasks across specialized agents that cooperate and hand off context — from triage to the final action.
Self-hosting and data control
We run n8n self-hosted or in the cloud. Sensitive data stays with you, with no vendor lock-in and nothing handed to a closed platform.
How it works
Workshop and use-case selection
We define the process the agent will take over, its inputs, expected actions and a measurable outcome. We pick the use case with the fastest return.
Agent design
We design the agent's logic: its role, available tools, knowledge sources, decision boundaries and the point of human handoff. We select the model (OpenAI, Anthropic or local).
Build in n8n and integrations
We build the agentic workflows in n8n, connect tools, APIs, CRM and channels (Slack, WhatsApp, email). We configure webhooks and event handling.
Testing and tuning
We test the agent on real scenarios, tune prompts and tools, set up guardrails and edge cases. We enable run logging.
Hosting and maintenance
We deploy the agent to production (self-hosted or cloud), set up monitoring and alerts, then maintain, update and extend it as needed.

FAQ
Self-hosting or cloud — which to choose?
Self-hosting gives full control over data and independence, which matters for sensitive information or compliance requirements — but it needs your own infrastructure. The cloud is faster to start and simpler to maintain. We match the option to your data, cost and timeline requirements, and n8n works equally well in both models.
What are the costs of models and APIs?
Model usage (OpenAI, Anthropic) and paid API costs are separate from our fee and billed by actual usage (tokens, requests) directly by the provider. During design we estimate expected costs and choose the model and architecture to limit consumption. For sensitive data or high volume we consider local models, where you don't pay per token.
How do you handle security and data protection?
With self-hosting, data never leaves your infrastructure, and accesses and keys are kept in n8n's secure credential store. We set up agent guardrails, limit its permissions to the necessary minimum and log actions for auditing. With cloud models we choose providers and settings that align with your privacy policy.
Why n8n and not a ready-made chatbot platform?
n8n gives full control over the agent's logic as a visual workflow, freedom to integrate with any API, and the option of self-hosting — with no vendor lock-in. Ready-made platforms are quick to start but lock you into their pricing model and limits. With n8n the agent grows with your processes and you remain the owner of the solution.
Will the agent fully replace my team?
No — the agent takes over repetitive, well-defined tasks (lead qualification, typical questions, first-line support) and hands non-standard cases to a human along with context. The goal is to relieve the team and speed up handling, not to pretend AI does everything. Decision boundaries and the handoff point are set together during design.
