Agent AI won't show Agent Dropdown

[Arroyave_Carlos]

I am using the cloud version on my Windows 11 Laptop.

When adding an Agent AI to the workflow, it won’t give me the Agent option to choose from. It only shows the Source from Prompt - Connected Chat Trigger node.

I am not getting any errors, but on the documentation and YouTube videos I see there is this option to choose Tools Agent, Conversational Agent, etc. I don’t have dropdown option

This is a very simple workflow as I am just learning.

Thanks

What version are you on? The LLM will be selected from the bottom of the Agent node UI where it shows “Chat Model”:

I am on the cloud and it says version 1.82.1

I added the Open AI Chat Model

But I don’t have these options

Oh interesting, I see. That’s odd. I wonder if its using an old node version for some reason.

Could you copy the node and provide the agent node json, it should have the node version in it.

[Arroyave_Carlos]

Sure, So I’m not crazy, I keep seeing everybody having that option but not me. I even tried opening another account in another computer and same thing. here is the json node

@Arroyave_Carlos can you paste the json raw into your response rather than between backticks so I can see the version parameter? Thanks.

Also what browser are you using?

I think you are right there is a problem with that node

Here is the code. I am using Chrome, and I just tried firefox and the problem persist
{
“nodes”: [
{
“parameters”: {
“options”: {}
},
“type”: “@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent”,
“typeVersion”: 1.8,
“position”: [
220,
0
],
“id”: “3a6a06bf-0538-4f8c-8a8d-a93b5f41dccb”,
“name”: “AI Agent”
}
],
“connections”: {},
“pinData”: {},
“meta”: {
“templateCredsSetupCompleted”: true,
“instanceId”: “272049ce42308f710372ecd4d3980c5accd85606adf25fe3e56c802b3c07eefa”
}
}

Interesting. I am a couple minor n8n versions behind but my agent node is 1.7. I may have to check once update my n8n, unless someone else could get before me.

What if you take that copied json you have, and set the version to 1.7, and paste that back to the scenario, does it work or same issue?

I’m experiencing this same thing. I upgrade the cloud (not self-hosted) version through the n8n website to 1.82.1 yesterday; since that time, I can no longer find that option (the Agent drop down).

Hey @Arroyave_Carlos

That is the expected behavior. Other agents have been deprecated and Tools agent is now the default.

You can do everything with it. Just connect the right tools and set the instructions.

For other specific functionality you can use these nodes:

If my reply answers your question, please remember to mark it as a solution.

So where can I find the ReAct node now?

[abdulrafay]

Add AI Agent. Below it, you will see + Tool. Click and add the database provider. Mine is Postgres, so I did accordingly.

[Arroyave_Carlos]

So I decided to learn n8n the day all the youtube videos are obsolete

[Arroyave_Carlos]

Thanks for your answer. So this is expected as of now? because I am watching videos from a week ago and they are still having that option. Although I think you are right as the documentation had a screenshot of those option yesterday and I don’t see them in there today. So I guess we are moving in that direction now. Thank you.

[solomon]

Yeah, it was mentioned in the GitHub release. They are being deprecated.

But that isn’t bad. It’s just the natural way of evolving the platform.

They became deprecated because the Tools Agent became so good that it is now the best option for most cases.

[ThinkBot]

Ah, I did not see this in the updates. Thanks for the clarity.

[pingxtra]

It is quite obvious cos a lot of things have changed.

[pingxtra]

Thanks a lot for clarifying though. I guess same thing happened to “Windows Buffer Memory” which is now “Simple Memory” amongst other tools/actions/nodes.

[solomon]

Oh, that’s just a name change. The feature remains the same.
