Open-source personal agent from n8n Labs with its own sandbox computer and browser. It works in your apps and on websites, and asks before it acts for you.
About Nod
Nod, at nod.n8n.io, is an open-source personal agent from n8n Labs, a team within n8n that experiments outside the core product. It is a research preview and a standalone app, separate from n8n, and you don't need an n8n account to use it.
Nod has its own computer, a private Linux workspace that runs locally, and its own browser. You connect apps such as Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Slack, Notion and Linear, and it can read and act in them. On websites with no integration it works in the browser, which you can take over when a site needs you. n8n's examples include prepping calls, collecting invoices from supplier portals, watching a price, and cancelling a subscription.
You have one ongoing conversation with Nod, shown in the app, a web browser, Telegram and WhatsApp. It can run tasks on a schedule. It remembers earlier conversations, and you can see, edit or delete anything it keeps about you.
Nod doesn't run models itself. It connects to the provider you choose, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Bedrock, Vertex AI and Azure, to a ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan, or to a local model server such as Ollama.
Before Nod sends, pays, posts or deletes anything you didn't ask for, a check on the Nod server confirms it with you. n8n says that check is a model's judgement and can be wrong. Vault enters saved passwords, codes and cards privately, and Usage records actions, sign-ins and model costs.
The desktop app runs on macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. Windows 11 and Linux x64 are previews, and you can host Nod on your own server. A local assistant runs only while Nod is open and the computer is awake. If you connect n8n, Nod can build and test workflows there, which stay drafts until you ask it to publish. The code is at github.com under Apache 2.0.
Pricing: Nod is free and open source under Apache 2.0. You pay your model provider for the AI it uses, or connect a local model. Nod shows what each task cost and lets you set a monthly spending limit. Checked November 12, 2026 at https://nod.n8n.io/.
