[New Node][OpenSource] Stabilizing GenAI in n8n AI Nodes: Treat Prompts as Business Logic, Not Runtime Text

Hi n8n community :waving_hand:

We’re the team behind Genum, and we’ve been working on a problem that shows up quickly when using AI inside automation tools like n8n: prompt instability in production.

The core idea

Instead of keeping prompts embedded inside workflows or agents, we extract prompts out of the runtime and treat them as first-class business logic:

  • prompts are versioned, tested, and audited

  • changes go through CI/CD and regression tests

  • runtime workflows stay stable while AI logic evolves independently

This turns prompts from “best-effort text” into deterministic, governable AI behavior, which is exactly what business automation needs.

How this fits n8n

We built community nodes for n8n that let you:

  • inject a verified prompt version directly into your agent or workflow

  • or execute the prompt remotely on Genum, where it’s already tested and locked

  • pin prompt versions so workflow behavior doesn’t drift over time

You can think of it as:

GitHub + CI/CD, but for prompts — connected to n8n.

Why this matters for automation

  • No more silent behavior changes when someone edits a prompt

  • Safer AI-driven routing, extraction, and decision logic

  • Clear ownership, rollback, and auditability for AI behavior

We’d love feedback from people running AI in real n8n workflows — and we’re happy to collaborate with the community on improving the nodes or patterns.

Thanks!
