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?

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.
