## Summary

n8n Labs has released Nod, an open-source personal agent under Apache 2.0 that runs in its own virtual machine and browser for errands across apps and websites. Saved logins and cards sit in a Vault that the model cannot access, and it asks before sending, paying, posting or deleting anything the user did not request. The author reports that with GPT-6.1 Sol, Nod completed 98% of 678 runs across 226 simulated errands, and that its memory scored 93.2% on 500 LongMemEval-S questions.
