作者实测 3 周：把 40+ n8n 工作流交给 Agent 自主调度
n8n 出了 Agents 功能，老工作流直接当工具喂给 Agent，它自己决定跑哪条。作者拿 40 多条工作流试了 3 周，思路很实用。
作者分享 3 周内把公司 40+ 条自动化工作流改造成 Agent 的经验。n8n 新推出的 Agents 功能允许把已有工作流作为工具交给 Agent，由它根据目标自主决定调用哪条、何时调用。以客服场景为例，Agent 可以串联检索客户信息、查询支持历史、生成邮件这 3 条工作流。原有工作流仍按固定逻辑执行，兼顾了灵活性与可预测性。
I've spent 3 weeks connecting 40+ workflows and turning them into agents.
This company spent years automating everything they could. They have a buttload of workflows to do different things.
If you know the steps, automating a process is pretty simple. You can build a script that runs on an input and does whatever you want.
But agentic systems are so much more than that!
You don't have to orchestrate every step of a process. You don't have to plan every possible path. Instead, you give the agent a goal and access to the tools it needs.
That's it!
To this day, n8n remains one of the simplest ways to build automations, and they have now introduced Agents as well.
Basically, you can take any workflow you have and give it to the agent as a tool. The agent can now decide which workflow to run and when, based on the ask.
For example, imagine you have three workflows:
1. Retrieve customer information 2. Retrieve a customer support history 3. Email customer
The agent can pull a customer's information, check their support history, and put together an email that addresses their problems.
Before, people made decisions at every step and ran individual workflows.
Now, an agent can stitch workflows together and decide when and how to run them, but each workflow still runs the way you built it.
You get the best of both worlds: the flexibility of agents with the predictability of workflows.

Thanks to the team for partnering with me on this post.
