n8n

That's a good point.

Let's move on to the next one, which this is an interesting category because this took all the storm in 2025 was AI automation with N8N and Make.com and Zapier, right? So for me, I'll be honest, I don't use any of these tools anymore, right? What is the point now when we're starting to see scheduled actions and cron jobs built into the chat GPT desktop app or the In VS Code, this is a little more technical, but I can set up my own cron jobs within VS Code.

There's just more solutions now for automations and scheduled actions that are easier to use under the current AI ecosystem that you're already paying for versus going down these paths.

Now, what I will say on an enterprise level, I know this for a fact, Zapier and N8N still have a giant moat on the enterprise level because a lot of these companies, they don't want to... you know do scheduled actions in this app and scheduled actions in that app they're looking for like boring reliable solutions and n8n and zapier for zapier for a long long time has proven to be reliable for a lot of these automations n8n has definitely proven that in more recent time but for me in my situation build it doesn't make sense for me to use these tools anymore but on the enterprise level i could definitely see the opposition what are your thoughts on this aaron

I haven't touched one of these in years.

I think it's beautiful that many of us learned on these tools.

Like I remember studying N8N and watching YouTube videos.

I'm like, oh, I can connect this to this to this.

Can you do that? Can you create the image? Can you optimize it for SEO? This is delegation.

to automatization where basically you like a every week you need to write three blog posts or every time i track a new competitor you need to compare my product with theirs create a blog post and post it on on the blog and i think it's a very natural way of doing it because most people that start thinking about automatization have no idea what they should automate and so that creates a big problem like you're starting with a platform no matter the platform that you're using it If it's a legacy workflow platform like N8n or if it's like a more modern platform like Lindy, you just don't know where to get started.

So you don't get started.

Or you find like an AI assistant, maybe like ChatGPT or something like this or something a bit more advanced than this.

So she sent me a very excited voice message going, come on.

And guess what? I set it up and I used N8N.

I know you told me I probably don't need to use that, but I did it and blah, blah, blah.

And now the client's birthdays are in my calendar.

And then in that rebuilding, the question is, you know, how do you treat actually human? How do you treat agent? Are they on the same level? Are they somehow different? So it's about, I would say, change becoming the reality in every part of the system.

How is Superplane different from like Argo workflows or like N8n?

I mean, our main hypothesis, let's say the space that we operate in is essentially, you know, engineering, software engineering operations.

both of those domains.

The third route is if we think about automation tools, this might be a great way for people you know, people listening to start using Jev now or soon, where you've already linked your software, you're already having processes, you've built automations, wherever that is.

Maybe it's Make, N8N.

If those names mean nothing to you, don't worry about it.

But you may be doing some automation.

i mean open claw it was funny with like open claw and stuff and like i know we were all interested in it but i don't think any of us really like went forward doing it and to a degree it's like I'm almost like, you don't even need to learn anything now.

Like it's, why waste your time trying to learn to be like a prompt engineer? I mean, I remember I almost started doing like N8N, had my kid and had friends over trying to like figure it out.

So glad I didn't go down that rabbit hole.

Cause it's like, now you don't even need any of that stuff.

At TechEd on the 27th of October, SAP announced expanded Joule Work and Joule Studio capabilities for multi-step business workflows and connections to third-party agents.

Joule Studio early adopters can now design and run N8n workflows with wider availability to follow.

N8n provides a way to connect steps in an automated workflow, so this gives those customers another route for assembling work across tools.

SAP also announced interoperability through A2A and MCP, alongside additional governance controls.

Broadly, A2A concerns communication between agents, while MCP gives models a common way to connect with tools and context.
