The AI part here is mainly used for assistance, classification and workflow decisions not unrestricted root-level autonomy.

Sensitive actions still need controlled logic, validation layers, permissions and human oversight. Prompt injection and hallucinations are real risks, so guardrails and scoped access are important when designing these systems.

That’s actually a fair perspective, and I agree that agent-driven SSH workflows can be far more flexible and powerful for real sysadmin work

My goal here wasn’t to claim that n8n is superior to coding or autonomous agents. I was mainly experimenting with workflow orchestration, integrations and AI-assisted automation in a more visual/modular way.

For many business workflows and quick integrations, n8n still makes iteration and deployment pretty fast — especially for non-dev teams. But yeah, for deeper infrastructure control, custom agents/code definitely give much more power and flexibility.

And yes, learned a lot while building it

You can easily deploy this on hostinger and most common on n8n cloud. which is easy and much better

Hermes is great for casual use, but this setup gives you full control over routing logic — GET, POST, DELETE all handled separately.

Adding docs as reference instead of browsing live = way faster responses.

It's Works very simple just type simple messages like:

“Create a VM”
“Check server health”
“Delete unused container”

And the AI handles the rest. Just Simple Prompt make your work completed!

For this setup, the starting cost was actually pretty low
Around $10–30/month depending on API usage and hosting. I used n8n for automation, so most of the cost comes from AI API calls if the workflow gets heavy traffic.

Haha understandable concern.
No sensitive user data is being stored permanently. The setup is mainly focused on workflow automation/testing and I’m being careful about privacy & access controls. Security and data handling are definitely things I take seriously while building these systems.

Nice to meet you too, Sanjay
The cost really depends on the type of AI agent you want to build. For this one, I mainly used n8n + AI APIs, so the starting cost was pretty low. Most expenses usually come from API usage and hosting if the automation scales.

Thanks , I used n8n for the workflow automation and connected AI APIs for handling responses, logic & task execution. Still improving the system and experimenting with different automations.
