I totally agree. What are they doing over there? It's funny because some of these companies are just jumping into trends, in this case, AI, probably to lure investors and users. They might be achieving the complete opposite result by doing so. If I didn't know about n8n from before and read the new headline on their homepage, I would have thought the tool was not useful for what I need.

Dunno what they mean about that :D

Nothing in the system says "AI" to me, and I've self-hosted one for a while now

It's one of the few situations where "visual programming" actually works really well.

I can't grok the Home Assistant UI for creating any kind of complex automations (and I've been writing software for a living for 25 years), but NodeRED works perfectly for complex branching operations.
