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?

    The comment was wrong. It’s an automation tool. It can use ai, but its not the primary focus.

      Wrong?

      n8n gives you more freedom to implement multi-step AI agents and integrate apps than any other tool.

      It’s the main pitch, bro. It’s the primary focus.

        And the vast majority of my automations don’t use it because it isn’t required.

        I will stand by what I said, the tool is great even if you don’t touch AI at all with it.

        You can integrate a host of things into n8n including AI, however you can also just run n8n as an automation tool without anything else integrated. It does take a little reading of the docs to figure that out. I am sure that most people run n8n with AI, and admittedly, the front page of the n8n site promotes the AI version because other users would like to run n8n with AI. Some in this thread are suffering from knee jerk syndrome.
