n8n, or an agent delivered ready to work?

When n8n is enough

  • You have a technical person with time to build and maintain it.
  • The workflow is simple and rarely changes.
  • You want to control every step yourself.

When an agent makes more sense

  • No one on the team has time to own the automation.
  • The process has exceptions and calls for judgment, not just fixed rules.
  • You want someone accountable for keeping it running.

You can use both: we can build on top of the n8n you already use, or connect the agent to it.

FAQ

What people usually ask.

Do you use n8n?

When it makes sense, yes. We choose the tool based on the process, and n8n is one of the options. What you keep is a working, documented agent.

We already have n8n workflows. Do we lose that work?

No. We start from what already exists and only rebuild what isn’t working.

Do I need a technical person on staff?

No. We handle the technical side and train the people who’ll use it. On your side, all you need is someone who knows the process.
