In many companies \u2014 startups, SMEs, associations or institutions \u2014 the digitalization of business processes is already well underway. But a new level is emerging: that ofintelligent automation of business flows<\/strong>, driven by AI agents and platforms like n8n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The challenge is no longer just to \u201csave time\u201d: it is about reinvent the way teams collaborate with their digital tools<\/strong>, by orchestrating hybrid workflows where humans and machines each play their role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n n8n is an open source automation tool that allows you to connect with each other all major services and software<\/strong> : Gmail, Slack, Discord, Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, Airtable, SQL databases, internal APIs, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In practice, n8n becomes a digital spine<\/strong> : your data flows circulate better, your teams are freed from repetitive tasks, and your AI agents find a fluid field of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A AI agent<\/strong> is not just a chatbot that answers questions. It is a software entity capable of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example: an agent reads a customer request on Gmail, enriches the profile with information from the CRM, offers a personalized response, and triggers the opening of a ticket in Jira in n8n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a key question: should we let the agent decide alone<\/strong> Or reintroduce humans<\/strong> ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Three typical cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The golden rule: the greater the risk, the more humans must be involved<\/strong>. n8n allows you to mix these logics: automate what is safe, notify or involve humans where it is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By integrating AI agents, we add a layer ofadaptive intelligence<\/strong> : the agent can understand, prioritize, and even contextualize the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n n8n is not alone in the market. We are seeing platforms emerge AI-native<\/strong> as :<\/p>\n\n\n\n The difference? These platforms are often closed<\/strong> and dependent on their cloud ecosystem. n8n retains the advantage ofopen source<\/strong> and of the self-hosting<\/strong> : you keep control of your data, your costs, and your technological choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the house of SOS-CTO<\/strong>, we intervene as architects of your AI flows<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intelligent automation is not a fad: it is a paradigm shift<\/strong> in the way of working.
