Building an amazing team

At n8n we put a lot of effort into building a great team with a great culture. And as we grew from 37 to 71 team members, the team spirit and the love for n8n remained intact. One of the ‘team culture’ things we love doing is getting the entire company together twice a year. This year, we met in Berlin and Tuscany for three days of strategising and team building.

2025 will be another year of strong team growth. Do you think n8n is the right place for you? Join us – We’re hiring!

Empowering automation with AI

AI took center stage in our 2024 product development. The marriage of n8n's 'traditional' workflow automation tools with LLMs, Vector Stores, Agents, and Tools has proven to be extremely successful, unlocking powerful automations with relative ease.

We rolled out a wide range of new AI features that make workflows smarter, faster, and more efficient:

  • Chat Trigger: Improved canvas chat and far better logging, allowing for more insight into the information flow between components.
  • New AI Models: Expanded support to include Claude, Gemini, Groq, and Vertex models, giving users greater flexibility.
  • External Vector Stores: Integration with more external vector stores opened new possibilities for working with large datasets.
  • AI Nodes: New tools like the AI Transform Node and AI App Tools made it easier to process, generate, and analyze data.
  • AI Agents: AI Agents enabled workflows to operate autonomously, taking automation to the next level.

We also launched the Self-Hosted AI Starter Kit, allowing teams to run their AI workflows and LLMs on their own infrastructure and to keep their data private.

Creating a smoother, more powerful platform

We made many improvements to the n8n platform. Some are obvious, but others are harder to spot, and ensure n8n remains a powerful and performant tool in 2025 and beyond:

  • Overhauled Expression Editor: The revamped editor, paired with new data transformation functions, simplifies complex data manipulations. We added context-aware code completion to make it much easier to get started with expressions.
  • Dark Mode + Dark Nodes: A long-awaited visual update that removes the need for wearing sunglasses during your nightly n8n sessions.
  • New Canvas: Our new, more performant canvas is almost out of beta! We redid the entire implementation to make it easier to work with large workflows and large datasets (stay tuned for more!).
  • Task Runners for Code Node: Also still in beta, Task Runners will add up to a 6x performance boost to your Javascript Code Nodes!

Adding more power with more nodes

2024 also saw the addition of tons of new nodes to extend n8n’s capabilities and integrate with even more tools.

One stand-out addition is the new Form Trigger Node that allows for building interactive workflows with multi-step forms that collect data seamlessly. We also added nodes for popular applications like MS OneDrive, Google Business, Okta and Gong. And what’s a workflow without a trigger? We now also have triggers for MS OutLook, Salesforce, Slack, Whatsapp, Twilio and more!

You can find all our nodes on our integrations page.

A growing, vibrant community

2024 was also the year that we were able to invest a lot of time into you, our amazing community! Here are some of the things we achieved together:

  • We restructured our community forum – still the best place to get help with n8n.
  • Stepped up our activity on YouTube, including Max’ amazing 30 days of AI and his new series, the Studio. Also, Angel has started a new series for Enterprise and IT users called n8n at Scale. Check it out!
  • We restarted our monthly Community Hangouts - livestreams where we talk about what’s going on at n8n, and where we invite speakers from our community. In December, we also interviewed our founder Jan Oberhauser and we celebrated the 2024 Community Awards! You can see the episode here.
  • We launched our Community Newsletter – a monthly summary of product updates, featured templates and community activities.
  • We started an Ambassador program. We welcomed 19 Ambassadors, who already hosted 14 events around the world.
  • Finally, our social media is more active than ever! Follow us on LinkedIn, X, Facebook or Bluesky to stay up to date on feature updates, community events, great educational videos and more!

Onward to 2025

We’re all excited for the future of n8n! Whether it’s advancing AI, improving workflows, or growing alongside our community, we’re committed to making automation more accessible, powerful, and user-friendly.
