Nod
An AI agent with its own computer: it handles tasks on real websites for you and asks before it acts.
Nod is a desktop app from the n8n team. Inside it, a personal agent works in a sandboxed environment with its own browser. It chases unpaid invoices, prepares meetings or cancels free trials, and checks with you before doing anything important. You choose the language model yourself: an API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter …), your ChatGPT Plus subscription or a local model via Ollama or LM Studio. Heads-up: Nod sends usage data to n8n by default. Turn that off under Settings → Privacy & data → Share usage data.
