Genuine question, what makes this more effective than something like N8n? Right now i'm not seeing what I could achieve within Inkeep that I couldn't on N8n. Less being snide and more being genuinely curious

Good question! Main things: n8n you can't export to code (or import). It's all visual, so you don't get CI/CD, typesafety, etc. when you want it. That can be fine if visual is all you need.

Architecturally, n8n is good for deterministic workflows and adding some LLM nodes for data transformations and tool calling, but because their system is not truly multi-agent, then a) it's not good for conversational experiences like chatbots or copilots and b) agents can't actually go back and forth with each other to solve problems with a shared conversation history, etc.

Great, thank you, that makes the benefits stand out a lot to me.
You got it. Feel free to shoot us over any feedback - nick @inkeep.com.
