Frequently Asked Questions
Why n8n instead of Zapier or Make?
n8n is self-hosted, so your data stays in your control. It's also more powerful for complex workflows and has no per-task pricing. For simpler needs, we work with Zapier and Make too.
What kinds of workflows can be automated?
Invoice processing, lead enrichment, document classification, report generation, data sync between systems, email triage, and more. If it involves moving data or making decisions, we can probably automate it.
How do you add AI to workflows?
We integrate LLMs at decision points—classifying documents, extracting information, generating responses, or making routing decisions. The AI handles the judgment calls that used to require humans.
How long does it take to implement predictive maintenance AI?
A Leapfrog AI Pilot runs for six weeks and covers one agreed use case. Whether predictive maintenance fits, and what data and equipment work it needs, must be scoped for the site.
Do we need to replace our existing equipment?
No. We integrate with your existing PLCs, sensors, and SCADA systems. If you need additional sensors, we help source and install them.
How do you handle data security for manufacturing environments?
Data location, access controls, and applicable requirements are agreed for each environment. Deployment options depend on the systems and scope involved.
