AI-Powered n8n Workflow Builder
AI-Powered n8n Workflow Builder
SEPTEMBER 23, 2025
I built a tool that converts a screenshot of an n8n workflow into a working file you can import directly into n8n. The idea came from seeing Reddit posts where users share screenshots of complex workflows but never include the underlying code.
How It Works
1. Image Analysis
Upload a screenshot of any n8n workflow. A vision model reads the nodes, connections, and layout.
2. Workflow Generation
The extracted description is passed to an LLM that writes a valid n8n JSON workflow.
3. Output Package
The tool returns:
- A downloadable workflow file
- A text description of each node and connection
- A "shopping list" of credentials or environment variables to set before running
Using the Tool
- Drag and drop the screenshot.
- Wait about two minutes for processing.
- Download the generated workflow and import it into n8n.
- Add your own credentials and test.
Why It Matters
This saves hours of manual recreation when someone only shares an image. It provides a jump-start for building or learning from other creators' workflows without starting from scratch.
The tool is a practical bridge between visual inspiration and runnable automation—turning static screenshots into real, editable n8n projects.
MidJourney vs Local FLUX
I've recently implemented FLUX dev locally, allowing me to generate top-tier AI images without relying on third-party servers. This setup ensures enhanced privacy, complete control, and eliminates API costs.
Consistency in AI Image Creation
One of the hardest tasks when using prompts to create AI images is consistency from image to image. For instance if you create a character or person, ideally you want to reuse visual elements of that character but put them in different situations or environments.

If you want to know how I got to be so good at shipping world class software and managing teams of people much smarter than me, it all began with a killer project management course that Dick Costolo customized for me and the team.

Texas Eclipse 2024
Spectacular event for us in central Texas as well as a large swath of the United States today. Truly amazing to see a full eclipse with our own eyes. Photos don't do it justice.
