Q: Does this do what n8n does?

Does this do what n8n does?
Is it similar or alternative?
Does having the multiple agents feature make this similar?

A: Hey cftrader01,

Great question! While AgenticFlow can handle many of the same automation tasks as n8n, we're built differently, especially with AI at our core.

1. AgenticFlow vs. n8n:
n8n is fantastic for detailed, step-by-step workflow automation where you manually connect specific API actions.

AgenticFlow does that too (our Level 3 "Workflows"), but our real differentiator is our agent-first architecture. You can equip AI Agents (Level 4) with tools (2500+ via MCP) and instruct them in plain English; the agent figures out how to use the tools.

2. Multi-Agent Feature (Level 5 - Tier 4 Add-on):
This is where we truly diverge. Our upcoming Multi-Agent system allows a "manager" agent to orchestrate a team of specialized sub-agents. This isn't just running multiple n8n workflows; it's about coordinated, parallel AI teamwork for complex, dynamic tasks – something native n8n doesn't offer in the same way.

In short:
- If you need traditional, granular workflow building, n8n is solid.
- If you want to leverage AI more deeply, instruct agents naturally, and scale towards more autonomous, multi-agent operations, AgenticFlow is designed for that future, built on an agent-native foundation.

Think of it as n8n for building the machine, AgenticFlow for giving the machine (or a team of them) a brain and goals.
