Transform How You Build n8n Automations

n8nChat is a powerful extension that brings the intelligence of AI directly into your n8n workflow editor. Simply describe what you want to accomplish in plain English, and watch as the extension generates complete nodes, complex workflows, and automation solutions in seconds.

Seamlessly Integrated with n8n

Key Features

🔄 Complete Workflow Creation

I tried but dindn´t work for me

kanawati Apr 21, 2025 v@ initial release

An excellent Idea, and very much needed.
However, I have some concerns about the LLM’s training data. Most LLM’s are familiar with n8n but veer away from the documentaion, which may cause unnecessary complications.

Cameron Wills Apr 17, 2025 v@ initial release
