Frequently asked questions
How much does the AI part cost to run?
Pennies. Each run sends a small amount of text to the model, so most teams spend a few dollars a month even at hundreds of runs. You set the model and can cap volume in n8n, so costs never surprise you.
Can I trust the AI to get the reply right?
The prompt is tightly scoped to one job and you can add a human-approval step in n8n before anything is sent or published. Start with review-mode for a week, and once you trust the output, switch it to fully automatic.
Does this need n8n Cloud or can I self-host?
Either works. The workflow is a standard n8n export, so you can run it on n8n Cloud or on your own self-hosted instance — you only connect your own app credentials.
