About n8n AI Workflow Builder
n8n AI Workflow Builder converts natural language prompts into draft automations and AI agents within a low-code workflow environment. It is source-available and aimed at technical users who want a mix of visual editing and the ability to add code where needed.
Review
The AI Workflow Builder generates complete workflow drafts from simple text descriptions, which you can then refine in the editor. It is currently available in beta on the Cloud with Trial, Starter, and Pro plans, while Enterprise and self-hosted availability are planned for a future update.
Key Features
- Natural language to workflow: describe a task in plain text and receive a draft workflow automatically.
- AI agent creation: build agents that can perform multi-step automations based on prompts.
- Editable visual editor: generated workflows appear as nodes and logic that can be adjusted and extended.
- Low-code plus code: supports both visual building and adding JavaScript or custom logic in nodes.
- Cloud-first availability with phased rollout and monthly credit controls per plan.
Pricing and Value
The feature is available on Cloud during a 14-day Trial and on Starter and Pro plans. Monthly credit limits apply: Trial users receive 20 credits, Starter plans 50 credits, and Pro plans 150 credits; each prompt or interaction consumes one credit. At launch there is no official option to purchase additional credits, and Enterprise and self-hosted support are expected in later releases. For technical teams that build complex automations, the Builder can reduce setup time by producing useful starting points that are editable in the workflow editor.
Pros
- Speeds initial workflow creation by turning plain-language requests into draft automations.
- Combines visual editing with the ability to insert JavaScript and custom logic for flexibility.
- Source-available approach and plans for self-hosting appeal to teams that prefer control over deployment.
- Produces shareable JSON workflows and integrates into multi-step automation patterns.
- Cloud rollout allows users to try the feature quickly via Trial, Starter, or Pro plans.
Cons
- Learning curve: technical familiarity is helpful to get the most from the editor and custom nodes.
- Credit limits per month can constrain exploration and there is no current option to add more credits.
- Feature availability is Cloud-first, so on-premise or self-hosted users must wait for broader rollout.
Overall, n8n AI Workflow Builder is best suited for engineering teams and technically minded automation builders who want to accelerate multi-step workflows while retaining the option to customize with code. Less technical users who need very simple, prebuilt integrations may find the initial experience more involved than alternative no-code solutions.
