   n8n Agents adds reusable, conversational agents alongside existing workflows. You choose instructions, a model and permitted tools; an agent can call a workflow, while a workflow can call a published agent. This suits variable tasks such as investigating a support request while keeping specific actions inside fixed workflows. The September 25 announcement describes sessions, versions and sensitive-tool approvals, with the product still in preview. Agent turns share the execution quota, and model access needs credentials or Gateway credits. Existing AI Agent nodes remain supported.
