For those self hosting, there is some extra configuration needed while this feature is in preview. See the docs here on how to set up access 👉 https://go.n8n.io/O4mja4

If you're on cloud, this is rolling out in stages. Be sure to stay on the latest stable version and you will see the agent tab come soon.

​ @liammcgarrigle shows off the new way to create and manage agents in n8n.

Agents have been possible to build in n8n for years, but we just added them as first class citizens. The paradigm shift is agents can now be created at the same level as workflows and even run independently from workflows. That way, your agent capabilities, and personalities, live separate from your workflow logic.
