"n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform that combines a visual no-code interface with code flexibility, now supercharged with native AI capabilities. With 400+ integrations, n8n enables technical teams to build powerful automation pipelines while maintaining full control. Notably, n8n introduced an "AI-native" approach, letting users incorporate large language models (e.g. via LangChain) into their workflows to create custom AI agent automations. This ability to build AI-driven agents and multi-system flows - all self-hosted under a fair-code license - has made n8n immensely popular."
"Langflow is a powerful low-code platform for designing and deploying AI-powered agents and retrieval-augmented workflows. Think of it as a visual builder for LLM applications: Langflow provides a drag-and-drop interface to construct chains of prompts, tools, and data sources (built on the LangChain framework). It comes with support for all major large language models, vector databases, and a growing library of AI tools."
2025 saw an explosion of open-source projects focused on agentic AI and developer tooling, with GitHub reporting over 4.3 million AI-related repositories and a 178% year-over-year increase in LLM-focused projects. Leading repositories gained tens of thousands of stars by enabling autonomous workflows, local model integration, and streamlined AI development. n8n combines a visual no-code interface with code flexibility, 400+ integrations, and an "AI-native" approach that integrates LLMs via LangChain, enabling self-hosted AI-driven automations under a fair-code license. Langflow offers a low-code drag-and-drop builder for LLM chains, supporting major models, vector databases, and a growing library of AI tools.
