An agency builds it properly, with error handling, docs and monitoring. ### Self-hosted or n8n Cloud? Cloud is simpler; self-hosting gives you full data control and lower costs at scale. We recommend based on your data, budget and who will maintain it. ### Can you migrate our Zapier or Make workflows? Yes. We review what you have, rebuild what’s worth keeping in n8n, retire what isn’t, and run both side by side until the new flows are proven. ### Do you build AI agents in n8n? Yes, using Claude inside n8n workflows with clear rules, logging and human approval for anything that matters. ### Who owns the workflows? You do. They run in your n8n instance and accounts, exported to version control with docs. ## See what this would look like for you. A 30-minute call. We’ll look at how you work today and tell you what’s worth building — and what isn’t.
