Nod
Open-source personal agent with its own computer and browser.
Nod is a standalone app from n8n Labs, a team within n8n. It is separate from n8n and from the n8n AI Assistant. It is an open-source personal agent with its own computer, a private local sandbox and Linux workspace, and its own browser. It can chase invoices, prep calls, cancel trials, and request refunds on real websites, including sites with no integration. It connects to Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Slack, Notion, Linear, and others, and it can run tasks on a schedule. It asks for approval before actions its rules do not cover. Vault enters passwords, codes, and cards privately so those secrets stay out of the model. Usage shows every action and its cost, with a monthly limit on API models. n8n released it on November 10, 2026 as a research preview, and the latest release is v0.6.2 on November 11, 2026. Expect rough edges. The desktop app is for macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel, and there is a Windows 11 preview that needs WSL 2. Linux and a self-hosted server use Docker. Docs are at nod.n8n.io/docs, the announcement is at blog.n8n.io/meet-nod, and the Apache 2.0 source is at github.com/n8n-io/nod.

Thirteenth because it is free and open source, runs locally with your own model, and asks before it acts. It is an early preview, so it sits at the bottom.
