I see n8n everywhere and while I love automation I can't think of a use case, that couldn't be realized in Bash instead.

So I'm wondering, if you use n8n what are you using it for?

Possibly ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ As soon as I see AI agent, I stop reading.

yeah this project has been on github for six years and seems to have been closed source before that. it's a graphical automation tool.

like, everything can be used with ai. github itself has "ai agent" plastered everywhere. it's just a buzzword. doesn't mean it's built specifically for ai.

But it does make it its elevator pitch, so call me not interested. And that's fine.
