Automation you can host yourself.
n8n builds workflows visually with AI agent nodes alongside conventional ones\, and can run on your own infrastructure via the free Community Edition.
Self-hosting is the decisive feature: for anyone handling sensitive data\, keeping automation inside your own network is not a preference but a requirement. Billing is per workflow execution rather than per step\, which makes complex workflows far cheaper than on rival platforms.
