Just curious what people are using n8n for.
I just finished setting up a workflow that sends me a Telegram message every night about photography opportunities for the next day. It puts together weather data, POIs (which I defined for my location), sun/moon position, milky way visibility, cloud cover, etc. The message then simply tells me if it’s worth it going out in the morning.
I’m not willing to run something that risky on my own infrastructure, therefore I wont run it. I can do all of those things with a handful of scripts or Home Assistant anyway.
May I ask why you consider n8n risky?
I’m not a slop jockey and I’m watching people plug these kinds of things into public data and having it do operations with financial/business impacts.
I’d rather employ a gremlin to write scripts.

Are you aware that you are not required to run AI with n8n? There are two flavors: With AI and without.
Is there a version of n8n without AI generated code?
If you are asking if you can run n8n without AI, yes. That’s what I run. If you are asking whether n8n is free of any AI generated code used in it’s creation, I couldn’t speak to that.
I see. It uses AI generated code, I just checked.
This is going to be a very difficult hill to die on as time goes on…
