## Current Capability Reference

n8n Forms can start workflows directly from submitted customer information and support dedicated testing and production URLs.

n8n Webhooks can receive events from external applications and start workflows, making them suitable for integrating customer-facing systems even where a dedicated trigger is unavailable.

n8n also provides an AI Agent node that can connect a language model with workflow tools and APIs, supporting controlled AI-assisted processing within automated workflows.
