n8n Agents turn workflows into reusable agents

n8n Agents let builders define an agent once with a model, instructions, tools, memory, and skills, then reuse it across chat, channels, schedules, and workflows. The preview supports n8n Cloud and self-hosted deployments while keeping the existing AI Agent node intact.

// ANALYSIS

This is a meaningful shift from embedding intelligence inside workflows to treating agents as reusable, versioned platform objects.

–Workflows can become tools, while the Message an Agent node enables two-way composition
–Built-in sessions, memory, approvals, and draft/publish versioning address real operational needs
–Slack, Telegram, Linear, schedules, MCP, and sub-agents broaden deployment beyond chat demos
–The preview still lacks continuous event-stream agents and external-agent access
–One agent turn counts as one n8n execution, while model-token costs remain with the user’s provider
