I see n8n everywhere and while I love automation I can't think of a use case, that couldn't be realized in Bash instead.

So I'm wondering, if you use n8n what are you using it for?

There is n8n with AI and there is n8n without AI. I run the n8n without AI. AI is not required to run n8n. Both versions can be run in Docker.

    I've only ever added AI to n8n workflows through ollama nodes/tools and agents and whatnot.
    I haven't seen the version where an AI llm is baked in yet.
    I did see we have tables now which is handy.
    Like I said, I'm self self-hosted tho so, either way, don't have to use it if you don't want. I'd probably recommend anyone just install whichever is easiest unless, it's forcing you to download the llm blobs/models and you don't have the space for it.
