What Is n8n?

n8n

A workflow automation engine — software that lets one system's event (a form submission, a status change, a schedule) trigger a defined sequence of actions in other systems, with AI models able to handle steps that need judgment rather than a fixed rule.

n8n is the engine underneath most of what AiMavrik builds, but it's a tool, not the point of any system — the same way a database or a web server is a tool. What matters to a business isn't which workflow engine runs underneath; it's what the workflow is wired to actually do: which events trigger it, which systems it touches, and where judgment steps sit inside it.

It is open-source, self-hostable, and connects to a wide range of business systems (CRMs, email, messaging platforms, spreadsheets, databases) without custom integration code for each one — which is why it's a practical foundation for the kind of automation described across the Automation cluster.
