n8n
A builder wires nodes on a canvas. An AI agent node does its part, then the builder's branches decide what happens next.
Malleable vs. n8n
n8n is built for technical teams. You wire nodes on a canvas, write code and can self-host. Malleable is for the people who run the process. They set the steps in plain English, and an AI agent runs them.
In common: Both show recurring work as steps you can inspect and mix AI with fixed logic.
The main difference
What happens when a case doesn't fit the workflow?
Malleable
The AI works out what the case needs, at the steps where your team allows it. If something is missing, it looks it up or asks the right person. The fixed steps still run the same way every time.
Side by side
How they compare
Each row is something you can check in a demo, or in the other tool's docs.

An AI agent runs the whole operation and works out cases nobody planned for. Your team locks the steps that must run the same way every time.Bringing in a person
n8n
A builder sets up each approval or form, and where it goes.Malleable
Malleable sends them a short form with the context, then waits for their answer.Changing it
n8n
A technical builder edits the nodes, then tests and publishes them.Malleable
Your team says what changed, in plain English. No builder needed.Already using n8n?
Keep the workflows that work. A Malleable operation can start an n8n workflow with a webhook, and an n8n workflow can start an operation the same way.
When to choose Malleable
- The work crosses teams and waits on people, inside or outside your company.
- The same work comes up again and again, and parts of it need judgment.
- The people who run it need to change it themselves.
