About the AI Assistant
I built this assistant for myself because switching between ChatGPT and n8n broke my flow. The vision is simple: an assistant that lives inside the canvas — not only generating workflows, but explaining nodes, connections and code so learning n8n feels faster and more approachable.
If it helps you the way it helps me, even better. flowsAI lowers the entry barrier to n8n, turns complexity into concrete steps and keeps you in the zone while you build. Friendly, practical, and made to accelerate your ideas.
Features
Create n8n workflows from prompts
Describe what you want in plain language and let the assistant assemble a ready‑to‑run workflow. It picks sensible defaults, connects nodes, and keeps credentials out of the JSON so you can plug in your own. Perfect for starting fast and iterating.
Explain your canvas
Get a clear summary of how nodes interact, where data flows, and what to improve. Great for onboarding, debugging, and quickly understanding complex automations without clicking through every node.
Configure settings
Switch languages, choose your OpenAI model and temperature, and manage your API key. The UI is minimal, fast, and always within reach.
Speech‑to‑text
Record thoughts and convert them to text with Whisper. Perfect for capturing ideas, drafting prompts hands‑free, and speeding up your flow.
Focused chat UI
A compact, distraction‑free chat that blends into the n8n editor. Stay in context while the assistant builds, explains, and refines your automations.
Waitlist for v2.0
Early access to a sleeker UI, more API providers (beyond OpenAI), and a freemium mode that works without your own API key.
Be first in line
Get early builds, give feedback, and help shape v2.0. We’ll email you only a confirmation and the invite when it’s ready — nothing else.
