Questions about automation & agents tools

Zapier, Make or n8n?

Zapier for the widest integration catalogue and the shortest path to something working. Make when the workflow branches enough that a diagram beats a list of steps. n8n when you want to self-host, write a real code step, or stop paying per task at volume — it is source-available, which is a different risk profile from a closed platform holding your workflows.

What happens when a workflow fails at three in the morning?

This is where the platforms actually differ. Make treats error handling as part of a scenario and n8n has dedicated error workflows, so a failure gets caught and retried. A chain built without either does the first three steps, fails the fourth, and tells nobody.

Do I need an automation platform to use AI in a workflow?

No, but it is usually the cheapest way to try. All three have AI steps that summarise, classify or extract inside a larger flow, which lets you put a model in the middle of a real process without standing up a service to hold it.
