n8n keeps shipping weekly updates in June and evolves its Agent Node
The automation platform shipped multiple versions throughout June, focused on stability, integrations, and an Agent Node with support for Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini and Mistral.
Release cadence
n8n shipped multiple versions throughout June 2026 (including releases on the 23rd, 24th, 25th, 29th and 30th), with stability fixes across the editor, the AI assistant, task runner shutdown, OAuth, community packages, and nodes such as OpenAI, Google Vertex, Databricks, MySQL, Schedule and WooCommerce.
Redesigned Agent Node
One of n8n's central 2026 changes was rebuilding its AI Agent node, which now supports tool calling across Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini 1.5 Pro and Mistral within the same visual flow.
Other fronts
The company also introduced a new Canvas UI — replacing the flat flow builder with a spatial canvas supporting grouped node clusters — and a redesigned HTTP Request node with native OAuth 2.0 PKCE and retry logic with exponential backoff.
