From our experience, n8n is great for linear workflows and connecting APIs through flowcharts. Rowboat is aimed at building agentic systems (multiple orchestration patterns, autonomous agents coordinating, non-linear decision making).

Those are much harder and time-taking to express and maintain in a flowchart model. Our goal with Rowboat was to make it simple and quick to build and maintain multi-agent assistants. Hence, the copilot is equipped with tools and state-of-art orchestration patterns [1], which allow it to build ready-to-go assistants in minutes from high-level requirements.
