An assistant that runs its draft
n8n introduced a preview Assistant that builds a workflow on the existing canvas, executes it and uses the resulting errors to propose revisions. The company distinguished this from the previous AI Workflow Builder, which generated a workflow once. [1]
Credential access and activation required confirmation. Cloud access excluded Enterprise at launch; Docker installations required configuration and user-supplied keys, and npm self-hosting was unsupported. The company warned that a first draft still needed review before production use. [1]
