Is n8n the right platform for what I am trying to do?

Questions

Hello,

I’ve been using Anthropic for a while now for low-level code generation. (I know very basic Python, but it’s been really helpful for creating small add-ins for my architectural 3D modeling software.)
I have a bunch of example scripts, templates, and UI styling that I usually feed into Claude projects. Then I use Artefacts to incrementally build an isolated library for a specific tool section. Once I have that, I start developing individual tools using the library.

The problem is, I run out of messages pretty quickly, so I was thinking about using the API to create a custom workflow for myself.

For example:

If I know I’ll be working with structural columns, I search for online examples of scripts working with structural columns and feed them into the project database. Then, I ask Claude to generate library functions I might need (like getting project levels, splitting columns, copying columns, fetching column parameters, etc.). I incrementally build all the necessary functions into the library (keeping in mind that I can’t really code). Once everything works, I build the tools one by one — it often works very well.

My question is: Since I don’t know much about n8n, I’m wondering if it’s the right platform.

I’m trying to figure out if n8n + the Anthropic API is the right solution for a custom workflow.

Is it possible to recreate something similar in n8n, with a low-level interface connected to the Claude API to replicate how Artefacts works? (Using Streamlit or something similar…)

Maybe without a UI, just the workflow somehow? I’d like to understand if this is possible before I do a deep dive into n8n YouTube tutorials. :smile:

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @Alex_Ritivoi

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :partying_face:

That would be a pretty interesting use case to do with n8n! You can definitely already build the RAG - Bot structure - check out our template collection for this to get started (for example: Building RAG Chatbot for Movie Recommendations with Qdrant and Open AI | n8n workflow template)

Why not sign up for a free trial and try it out for yourself?

If you get stuck you can post your specific question here. But also feel free to share your progress :slight_smile:
