It is also worth mentioning that the company closed a 55 million euros deal in Series B funding, which was led by Highland Europe in March.
Jan Oberhauser, the founder and CEO of n8n, said in a blog post on theri website that “When I started building n8n six years ago, I never imagined we'd be where we are today. What began as a solution to my own frustration has grown into something used by over 200,000 people worldwide! Today, I'm incredibly excited to announce that we've secured €55 million in Series B funding led by Highland Europe with participation from HV Capital and previous investors Sequoia, Felicis, and Harpoon.”
He also talked about n8n's reason for being built, saying that he wanted to solve a pain point of its own, as he was tired of workflow tools that did not have flexibility or required deep technical expertise. So, as a result, he created n8n, a platform that has the power of being used by developers, but also accessible to anyone willing to give it a try and learn.
The company is now looking for the possibilities in AI + Automation, entering a new era where this reaches levels that have not been touched previously. The company is integrating AI directly into n8n workflows, allowing users to accomplish tasks that would have been impossible to deliver months ago.
Even more so, data that could not have been processed can now be analyzed automatically. And, when it comes to decisions that require human judgment, they can now be handled easily within the workflows.
The platform also believes in the power of artificial intelligence when combined with human capabilities. Rather than replacing humans, they are looking to combine humans with code and AI.
The AI workflow automation tool offers multi-step agents calling custom tools, creating agentic systems on a single screen. It also offers the possibility to integrate LLM into your workflow with a simple drag-and-drop feature.
The tool also supports self-hosting when it comes to AI models, but you can also deploy with Docker. Access the entire source code on GitHub as well as find versions that are hosted and available.
