🔥 🚨 CONTROVERSIAL TAKE: “AI agents will kill N8N” – The biggest tech delusion of 2025
Sorry to kill the vibe, but someone has to say it.
⸻
🪄 The Marketing Fantasy:
A single prompt → an autonomous agent → a business fully running in production.
“No need for N8N anymore, agents do it all.”
Yeah… not happening.
⸻
📉 The Harsh Reality:
MIT CSAIL (2024): “Tool-using agents are fragile without infrastructure.”
OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic?
Not one deploys an agent to production without orchestration layers.
⸻
⚡ What the hype conveniently forgets to mention:
• 🚨 Unrecoverable failures on long processes
• 🔓 Data leaks through corrupted prompts
• 💀 “Magical” agents silently killed due to lack of explainability
• ⏰ In 100% of serious use cases: projects end up in N8N or Temporal
⸻
🎯 PLOT TWIST:
This hype is actually GREAT NEWS for early adopters trained in prompt engineering + no-code / low-code tooling.
Why?
Agents spark ideation → We deploy production.
They create the buzz → We deliver the backbone.
⸻
💰 Massive Opportunity Incoming:
Thousands of companies will discover automation through Opal, BuildMyAgent, Devin…
And they’ll come straight to US for secure, production-ready implementation.
⸻
🔮 My Prediction:
• Vibecoding — and now “vibe-agenting” (yeah, I’m coining that 😎) — will keep growing for POCs and idea flow.
• But no serious builder will push a real product live without proper infra, audit, and orchestration (like N8N).
📊 Sharing Mark Kashef’s “Painmeter” diagram here —
The easier it looks upfront,
The more rigid and generic it is behind the scenes.
And no serious company wants a black-box backend they can’t govern.
⸻
🚨 OPEN DEBATE:
Name ONE real-world “prompt-only agent” running in production without orchestration —
in a regulated or mission-critical environment.
I’m willing to be proven wrong 👇
