We're excited to announce that Camino AI is now available as an official verified node in the n8n workflow automation platform! Unlike generic workflow tools, this integration is purpose-built for AI agents that need to navigate the real world – bringing location intelligence directly into your agent workflows.

Built for AI Agents, Not Just Workflows

While n8n is known for business process automation, Camino AI transforms it into a reality grounding layer for AI agents. Your agents can now:

  • Navigate Physical Spaces: Understand real-world geography, not just abstract data
  • Make Spatial Decisions: Calculate routes, distances, and travel times autonomously
  • Discover Context: Find relevant places based on natural language understanding
  • Ground Responses in Reality: Answer questions with actual location data, not hallucinations

This isn't about automating email campaigns or CRM updates – it's about giving AI agents the spatial intelligence they need to operate in the physical world.

What is n8n?

n8n is a fair-code workflow automation platform that gives technical teams the flexibility of code with the speed of no-code. With 1000+ integrations and native AI capabilities, n8n lets you build sophisticated AI agent workflows while maintaining full control over your data and deployments.

Why Camino AI + n8n for AI Agents?

Combining Camino AI's reality grounding with n8n's agent orchestration creates powerful AI systems:

  • Real-time Location Data: Give agents access to real-world place information, routing, and spatial relationships
  • Natural Language Queries: Agents can find locations using plain language, just like humans
  • Autonomous Spatial Reasoning: Agents make decisions based on distances, travel times, and geographic context
  • Self-hosted or Cloud: Deploy on your infrastructure or use n8n cloud
  • Multi-Agent Orchestration: Build complex agent systems with location awareness

AI Agent Use Cases

🤖 Personal Assistant Agents

Build AI assistants that help users navigate their daily lives with real-world intelligence:

User: "Find me a quiet coffee shop near work where I can take a client meeting"
Agent: Uses Camino AI to search → Filters by distance & context → Returns personalized recommendations with reasoning

🚚 Logistics Agent Systems

Autonomous agents that optimize delivery routes and make real-time spatial decisions:

Trigger: New delivery order → Agent: Finds nearest warehouse using Camino AI → Agent: Calculates optimal route → Agent: Monitors traffic & adjusts dynamically

🏠 Real Estate Agent Assistants

AI agents that understand property context and help buyers make informed decisions:

User: "Show me homes near good schools and parks"
Agent: Uses Camino AI to find properties → Analyzes proximity to amenities → Provides context-rich recommendations

🏥 Healthcare Navigation Agents

Agents that help patients find care based on location, urgency, and availability:

User: "I need urgent care, preferably within 10 minutes"
Agent: Queries nearby facilities → Calculates travel times → Ranks by urgency + distance

Available Operations for AI Agents

The Camino AI n8n node provides all the spatial intelligence tools your agents need:

  • Query: Natural language location search with AI-powered ranking – agents can ask in plain English
  • Route: Calculate optimal routes between locations – agents plan journeys autonomously
  • Relationship: Analyze spatial relationships including distance, direction, and travel time
  • Context: Understand what's around a specific location – give agents environmental awareness
  • Journey: Plan multi-stop journeys with waypoints and constraints

Getting Started

1. Install the Camino AI Node

In your n8n instance, search for "Camino AI" in the node library and install it. The node is officially verified and maintained.

2. Get Your API Key

Sign up at app.getcamino.ai and generate an API key from your dashboard. You get 1,000 free API calls per month – no credit card required.

3. Configure Credentials

Add your Camino AI API key to n8n's credential manager. The node uses simple API key authentication.

4. Build Your First AI Agent Workflow

Drag the Camino AI node into your canvas and start building! Here's a simple AI assistant example:

1. Trigger: Chat message from user
2. AI Agent: Understand user intent (OpenAI/Claude node)
3. Camino AI: Query for relevant locations
4. AI Agent: Generate personalized response with location data
5. Send: Reply to user with grounded recommendations

Example: Multi-Agent Location Intelligence System

Here's how to build an AI agent that helps users discover local businesses:

┌─────────────────┐
│  User Message   │ ← "Find Italian restaurants near downtown"
└────────┬────────┘
         │
         ▼
┌─────────────────┐
│   AI Agent      │ ← Parse intent & extract parameters
│  (OpenAI)       │
└────────┬────────┘
         │
         ▼
┌─────────────────┐
│   Camino AI     │ ← Search: "Italian restaurants downtown"
│   (Query)       │    Rank by relevance
└────────┬────────┘
         │
         ▼
┌─────────────────┐
│   Camino AI     │ ← Calculate travel times from user
│ (Relationship)  │
└────────┬────────┘
         │
         ▼
┌─────────────────┐
│   AI Agent      │ ← Generate natural response
│  (Claude)       │    with location context
└────────┬────────┘
         │
         ▼
┌─────────────────┐
│  Send Response  │ ← Rich, grounded recommendations
└─────────────────┘

Why Reality Grounding Matters for AI Agents

AI agents without location intelligence are disconnected from the physical world. With Camino AI + n8n, your agents can:

  • Eliminate Hallucinations: Provide real location data instead of invented places
  • Make Better Decisions: Factor in actual distances, travel times, and geographic context
  • Understand Physical Constraints: Know what's actually possible in the real world
  • Operate Autonomously: Make spatial decisions without human intervention
  • Scale Intelligence: Handle thousands of location queries per day

Pricing & Limits

Camino AI offers generous pricing designed for AI agent systems:

  • Free Tier: 1,000 API calls/month (perfect for testing agents)
  • Pay-as-you-go: $0.001 per call beyond free tier
  • Monthly Plans: Volume discounts from 20-60% off for production agents
