n8n is dead or is it?

Go to YouTube right now. What's the most talked about tool? Claude. In March alone, Anthropic dropped 10+ new Claude features. While n8n has lost its spot in the limelight. Guess what's happening in the background though? It's still growing on GitHub. When I started with n8n in October, they had 150k stars. Now? 180k.

And this is from folks who go into GitHub and star it. Think of all the people creating an account right now and not login into Github to give them a star. This is why I'm not panicking about the Claude craze. And just so you know businesses are still using Zapier today. It's not about the tools. It's about solving problems.

Here's some food for thoughts: I've worked with 35+ clients for the past 6 months. Not one person has asked me to build with Claude. I still use Claude to help me build, but they did not care when I built...

A lead nurturing system for WhatsApp.
A customer service AI agent.
A Meta ads AI bot that analyzes your ads.

They didn't ask me about Claude. They had a problem and asked me to solve it. I gave them suggestions on what to use and they said "ok, cool, let's fix it".

So if you think you need to use Claude or you'll fall behind, you won't. Not as long as you can solve real business problems.
