is there any plans to support an open router? thanks
I tried but dindn´t work for me
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.
I’ve added the newest OpenAI models to n8nChat!
- gpt-4.1-nano
- gpt-4.1-mini
- o4-mini
- gpt-4.1
- o3
This update is currently live in the Firefox version, however the Chrome version is still pending Google approval for the update.

n8n itself is a no-code automation creation platform, similar to Zapier and others, so by its very nature it is useful for non-technical users because n8nChat takes a no-code tool and makes it even more no-codey.
Does n8nChat provide any other features apart from workflow automation?
