Workflow Automation Tool - marcojourney/ai-agent GitHub Wiki

Yes, I know n8n β€” it's a workflow automation tool that allows you to visually create workflows to automate tasks by connecting APIs and services (like Slack, Gmail, MySQL, etc.). It’s open-source and is often compared to tools like Zapier but with more flexibility, especially for developers (e.g., the ability to write custom JavaScript functions, self-host, etc.).
