Music visualizer that builds itself: drop a track, AI reads the structure + mood, auto-scripts the motion design.
Versioning is just git under the hood โ remix = branch, checkpoint = commit.

How to pick:
Deterministic workflow, AI as one step? n8n. Agentic loop, full control? Self-host LangGraph. Already on GCP? Vertex AI Agent Engine. Fully managed, OK with lock-in? Claude Managed Agents. Want harness, keep runtime? OpenAI SDK.
Different problems, different tools.
"Managed Agents killed n8n" is the dumbest take on my timeline this week.
n8n is a deterministic workflow engine. Managed Agents is an agentic loop.
It's cron vs Kubernetes. Both run tasks. Different problems.
The actual fight is between three other players.
Google plays the enterprise giant.
Everything inside GCP. IAM, VPC-SC, compliance, HIPAA since August 2025.
If your org is already on GCP, it's a no-brainer. If not, the cold start will hurt more than the lock-in.
GPT-5.4 Pro leads on BrowseComp (a web-research benchmark measuring multi-step browsing and synthesis) with 89.3% vs Opus 4.7โs 79.3%. Notably, Opus 4.7 actually regressed from Opus 4.6โs 83.7% on this metric โ worth knowing if your agents rely heavily on web research.

๐จ Claude Design (Apr 17, research preview)
Generates slides, prototypes, one-pagers from prompts.
Reads your codebase + design files โ builds design system โ hands to Claude Code for implementation.
Figma stock: -7% same day.
The safety default that matters: Claude can only push to claude/* branches by default.
This makes Routines production-viable without human review on every merge.
