n8n + Minimal AI
n8n is the open-source workflow automation platform. Minimal AI connects to n8n so the AI can trigger workflows, send data to any n8n node, and orchestrate complex actions across your stack. Beyond looking up information, the AI can also take actions in n8n on behalf of your team.
Every company connects their tools differently. The AI Manager figures out how yours work and sets up n8n for you.

Setup is fast because the AI Manager handles the configuration for you. Describe what you need in plain language and the connection is live in minutes, not weeks. And because we work with e-commerce teams every day, the AI already understands the patterns: order questions, return flows, shipping issues. That makes up the bulk of your support volume.
