Hello everyone,
I am using n8n on a “local” or cloud installation via Render. When creating workflows, I also want to add AI agents. Strangely, I cannot choose which type of AI agent to use in the node selection. Please see:
The selection window does not appear for me.
In many YouTube videos and also here in the community, an additional selection field is still shown.
@Lukas_Windeck, unfortunately, you can’t. As far as I know, the additional field is only available in the cloud version of n8n, not in the self-hosted version.
Actually, it’s available on both. I’m currently experiencing this same issue the moment I upgraded the cloud version of my n8n instance (NOTE: cloud not self-hosted), I could no longer find the Agent drop down option to select other agents. I upgraded yesterday to 1.82.1
Hey, I experienced the same problem but it seems to be intentional
Here is an issue reported regatding that: After upgrade to 1.82.1 no more Agent dropdown in AI Agent · Issue #13902 · n8n-io/n8n · GitHub
And here PR with information that since 1.82.0 Tool agent is the only recommended and others are deprecated: feat(core): Make Tools Agent the default Agent type, deprecate other agent types by Cadiac · Pull Request #13459 · n8n-io/n8n · GitHub
This was indeed intentional, as you’ve referenced the PR.
What is your experience with the new “uniform” AI Agent node? We’d be happy to hear your feedback!
