"Our Best Week Ever Was When OpenAI Killed Us"

n8n was the hottest AI tool in the world in 2025. Then people started declaring it dead. In this clip, Jan Oberhauser, founder and CEO of n8n, responds to that with the calm of someone who has heard it before. He says they've been called dead roughly a thousand times and can't remember half of what was supposed to have killed them. His favourite example: when OpenAI launched its own agent builder, that turned out to be one of their best growth weeks ever. On Claude Code specifically, he gives it full credit as a tool and then draws the line. These are very different products and you need both.
