I spent some time researching a question that's on the minds of many automation professionals: Will AI tools like Claude replace n8n and Make? Instead of relying on one answer, I asked Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity the exact same question. Interestingly, they all approached it differently, but reached a very similar conclusion. 🟣 Claude: AI and workflow platforms solve different problems. AI provides intelligence, while n8n and Make handle orchestration and reliable execution. 🟢 ChatGPT: AI will replace many simple automations, but complex, production-grade workflows still need workflow engines for scalability, monitoring, and reliability. 🔵 Perplexity: The best analogy: AI is the brain. n8n and Make are the plumbing. AI reasons, while workflow platforms connect apps, trigger actions, retry failures, and keep everything running. After comparing all three, one thing became clear: AI isn't replacing workflow automation. It's making it smarter. 🧠 AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) - Understands context - Makes decisions - Classifies, summarizes, and generates content ⚙️ n8n / Make - Connect applications - Execute workflows - Handle triggers, retries, schedules, and logs - Deliver reliable automation at scale AI decides what should happen. Workflow platforms make sure it actually happens, every single time. The future isn't AI vs n8n. It's AI + n8n (or Make). The professionals who thrive won't just know prompting or workflow automation. They'll know how to combine both. What's your take? Do you think AI will eventually replace workflow platforms, or will they continue evolving together? 👇

Just built this: Make.com hits a Google Apps Script web app (deployed as a web deployment) -> script zips up a Google Drive folder -> sends the zip back to Make to use however you want. Basically, Apps Script becomes a custom "tool" Make doesn't natively have. Once you deploy a script as a web app, Make can just call it like an API. What this opens up (in simple terms): - Zip/unzip files in Drive automatically - Bulk rename, move, or organize files - Generate custom PDFs/docs Make can't build natively - Read/write Google Sheets in complex ways beyond Make's built-in modules - Basically anything Google's APIs can do but Make doesn't have a direct module for If you're hitting a wall with Make's native Google modules, this is the workaround. Happy to share the setup if anyone wants to try it.
