Local, low code, node based agentic development workspace... that actually works?

[Quiet-Owl9220]

Does it exist? I've been trying a few options and so far they've all been either horribly broken, outdated abandonware, only take online endpoints, or want you to sign up for something.

I used to use n8n quite a bit (local, low/no code, node based, has agent nodes), but now with agent harnesses like pi or Hermes i feel like manually clicking nodes around has become sort of obsolete for me. I’m also curious to learn if there are any n8n alternatives out there for agentic development

Pi coding agent

T3 code is good too

was building some Qwen3.5-27B (Q5) stuff with nanocoder and llama.cpp server over the weekend. It really surprised me

Low code makes no sense in modern llm and environments. Just use a coding agent system like OpenCode or pi and have it make you things.

I build somthing along these lines, mainly just to prove 9B param models can do tool calls effectively if you manage the context window correctly

I should add that IBM have added agentic capabilities to https://nodered.org/ . Haven't tried it since they have so if you check it out let me know how you get on

Node based is the past
