With all the agencies and the YouTube demos of n8n and Make.com they should be everywhere.

I look at my workplace and I see places where they might fit in but if the reliability isn’t 99.5% they won’t be trusted and I think that’s a problem.

I made a toy in n8n that collects transactions in YNAB via API and matches them to Amazon orders in GMail. It then uses GPT-4o with vision to categorize the product pictures according to my budget’s categories but I have to add the order link to the transaction memo and add a flag for human review because it’s only 80% or so. It has sped up the workflow for sure but nowhere near good enough to set it and forget it.




Interesting! To me 80% hitrate sounds actually pretty good and awesome if it actually improves productivity, though understandably not something that could be left on it's own devices.

I had no idea about Make.com or n8n, they seem interesting. Thanks for the tip! Will check them out.


also: nodered, windmill.

And non ui flow diagram but essentially the same thing: inngest, hatchet.
