Latest update (11-11 10:16): n8n Labs releases Nod, an open-source personal AI agent in research preview

Overview: n8n Labs has released Nod, a research preview of an open-source personal agent under Apache 2.0 that runs on a Mac, Windows PC, or the user's own server. Nod uses the AI provider the user chooses and works in its own virtual machine and browser on errands such as preparing calls, collecting invoices, or cancelling subscriptions. Users assign tasks through Telegram or WhatsApp, according to Testing Catalog.

Rohan Paul reports that saved logins and cards sit in a Vault the model cannot access, and that Nod asks before sending, paying, posting or deleting anything the user did not request. Rohan Paul also reports that with GPT-6.1 Sol, Nod completed 98% of 678 runs across 226 simulated errands and scored 93.2% on 500 LongMemEval-S memory questions. Santiago cites a 98% task completion figure from October, which has not been independently verified.
