n8n CEO Jan Oberhauser on Building the Universal AI Automation Layer
Duration: 00:35:44
August 26, 2025
- NADN is focused on enabling users to build AI-powered applications, rather than simply adding AI features to an existing automation tool.
- A key turning point for NADN's growth was shifting the marketing strategy to prioritize community adoption over lead generation, leading to exponential growth as the community realized NADN had become an AI-focused tool.
- NADN maintains an open-source ethos by allowing free use of its source code, but prohibits commercialization to ensure the sustainability of the company, prioritizing data privacy and security over cost savings through open source.
