A: Hey Johnnycb!

Awesome question comparing us to n8n. Both are powerful automation platforms, for sure, but we come at it from a fundamentally different angle, especially with AI baked right into the core from day one.

While n8n is excellent for visually building out very specific, step-by-step workflows where you connect each node and define every action manually, AgenticFlow is built around the concept of AI Agents. Instead of you needing to map out every single API call or function, you can equip an agent with the tools it needs using our MCP integration layer – this connects things like Google Sheets, Slack, WordPress, and over 2500 other services just once. After that, you simply tell the agent your overall goal in plain English, maybe something like, "Find the latest tech news summaries and draft a post for my LinkedIn," and the agent intelligently figures out which tools to use and the sequence required to achieve that outcome. It’s much more about delegating the what and letting the AI handle the how.

This agent-first design means AI isn't just another task block you drop into a sequence; it's fundamental to how the system understands instructions, plans actions, and uses the connected tools dynamically. You absolutely can still build visual, step-by-step workflows in AgenticFlow if you prefer that granular control, similar to n8n, but the agent layer provides a more intuitive and potentially faster way to automate complex tasks.

Furthermore, because we started with this agent architecture, we have a natural path towards more sophisticated AI systems. This includes the Multi-Agent orchestration capability (coming as an optional Tier 4 add-on) where different agents collaborate on a task, and even future developments towards more autonomous agents. It's all running on the robust Pixel ML infrastructure, which has already been scaled to handle millions of AI interactions daily. Plus, the MCP approach means you can potentially connect to thousands of tools without waiting for a specific integration to be built.

So, in essence: N8N gives you precise control to build the automation machine piece by piece. AgenticFlow aims to give you an intelligent assistant (or potentially a team of them) that you can instruct, who then uses the available tools to achieve your desired result.

Hope that paints a clearer picture of the difference in philosophy and capability! Let me know if you have more questions.
