n8nChat
n8nChat is a browser chat extension that sits inside the n8n workflow editor and builds automations from plain-language prompts. Install it in Chrome or Firefox, connect your own OpenAI or Google API key, and describe the workflow you want. The extension drops configured nodes and connections directly onto your n8n canvas instead of handing you text instructions to copy.
Generic chatbots answer questions about automation. n8nChat generates real n8n nodes, full multi-step workflows, and JavaScript Code nodes inside the editor you already use. It can also read a workflow screenshot and recreate the layout, search the web through Gemini when a request needs fresh data, and self-correct missing node parameters before you run the flow.
The tool targets n8n beginners who do not want to memorize every node setting and experienced builders who want to prototype HubSpot-to-Slack integrations or scheduled reports faster. It works with n8n.cloud and self-hosted instances, stores conversations locally, and is developed independently by Cameron Wills (not affiliated with n8n.io).
