Why not n8n?

Automating tasks ≠ operating AI in production

n8n and Make automate workflows.
O137 operates AI in production, reliably, governed, and maintainable.

See how O137 works

1. n8n / Make are not AI-native

They can:

  • •Call an AI API
  • •Execute a prompt
  • •Chain steps together

But:

  • •AI is an external component
  • •No global state
  • •No governance
  • •No lifecycle management

👉 AI is treated like a webhook, not like a system.

2. The Real Problem: Production Deployment

With n8n / Make

  • •Testing in production
  • •Prompts hardcoded in nodes
  • •No clear separation: test / staging / prod
  • •No AI versioning
  • •No rollback
  • •No decision observability

👉 It works... until it breaks.

With O137

AI is designed as a production component:

  • •Separate environments
  • •AI logic versioning
  • •Centralized business rules
  • •Decision monitoring
  • •Rollback possible
  • •Model fallback
  • •Cost and risk management

👉 Like any critical system.

3. Governance ≠ Technical Logs

n8n / Make

  • •Execution logs
  • •Success / failure
  • •Payloads

O137

  • •Why a decision was made
  • •Which model was used
  • •Which rules were applied
  • •Confidence level
  • •Which alternative was rejected

👉 Major difference for finance, legal, ops.

4. Evolution Impossible to Maintain in n8n / Make

What Always Happens

  • •Prompts copied everywhere
  • •Diverging rules
  • •Inconsistent behaviors
  • •Invisible AI technical debt

O137

  • •Central logic
  • •Reusable rules
  • •Consistent behaviors
  • •AI that evolves without breaking everything

5. A Very Concrete Example

Bank Reconciliation

n8n / Make

  • •Long workflow
  • •Hardcoded rules
  • •Occasional AI call
  • •Exceptions patched together

👉 Difficult to maintain

👉 Impossible to audit seriously

O137

  • •Centralized decision logic
  • •Confidence scoring
  • •AI / rules / human arbitration
  • •Audit-ready

👉 Built to last
