Nod by n8n

Nod is a free, open-source personal agent from the team behind n8n that runs on your own Mac, Windows PC or server, does errands on real websites and connected apps, and asks before acting on your behalf when your request doesn't cover it.

Why it matters

Freelancers and small-business owners lose afternoons to invoice chasing, call prep and portal paperwork. Nod aims to take those jobs end to end while keeping data and saved logins on your own machine.

Highlights

• Writes daily call briefs from your threads, calendar and the client's news, finds unanswered questions and drafts replies.
• Checks each action against your request and rules and asks when they don't cover it; it can watch pages on a schedule and alert only on changes.
• Visible, editable memory; n8n reports 93.2% on LongMemEval-S and 98% completion on 226 test errands with GPT-6.1 Sol.
• Works with 30+ model providers, a ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan, or local models via Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM or llama.cpp (64k context and tool calling needed).
• Connects Gmail, Slack, Notion, Drive and Calendar, and can be used from the app or Telegram.

Worth knowing: Nod stores saved website logins locally and acts on real sites; app connections go through n8n and Composio by default, and usage data goes to n8n unless turned off. n8n calls it an experiment.
