n8n 发布开源智能体 Nod，可自选 AI 供应商并本地运行
n8n 出了个叫 Nod 的开源智能体，跑在自己电脑上，模型随便换。它每步操作都会对照你的原始指令，越界就先问你。做自动化工作流、又不想把账号交给黑盒产品的开发者可以试试这个研究预览版。
n8n 宣布推出名为 Nod 的智能体，定位为研究预览版，向社区征集真实任务下的反馈。Nod 采用开源模式，直接运行在用户自己的电脑上，并允许自由选择 AI 供应商，不绑定单一模型或云服务。
在安全设计上，Nod 会把每一步操作与用户最初下达的指令做比对，一旦发现超出原始请求范围的动作，会主动停下来向用户确认，而不是自行执行。n8n 表示，做这个产品的动机是希望有一款自己敢把账号交出去的智能体：OpenClaw 和 Hermes 的开源透明性、Instinct 和 Grok Bot 的使用便利性，是 Nod 试图结合的两端。
对开发者而言，Nod 补上了 n8n 工作流自动化生态里的本地智能体一环，与闭源商业智能体相比，数据不出本机、模型可替换是核心差异点。研究预览阶段的行为校验机制是否经得起复杂任务考验，取决于社区实测结果。
OpenClaw, Hermes, Instinct, Grok Bot… why another agent?
Fair question. We wanted something we’d feel comfortable handing our own accounts to
We like the openness of OpenClaw and Hermes, and the convenience of Instinct and Grok Bot. Nod is our attempt to bring those together
It’s open source and runs on your computer with the AI provider you choose. It checks actions against what you asked for and asks when something falls outside that. It’s still a research preview, so we’d like to hear how that holds up with your actual tasks
