A self-hosted assistant on Docker + n8n that answers inquiries from a living knowledge base: enterprise capability without the SaaS subscription stack.
Automation platforms charge enterprise prices for what is, underneath, a webhook and an API call. Small businesses get priced out of capability they could easily run themselves.
Docker containers running a self-hosted n8n instance process incoming queries through webhooks, consult a continuously updated knowledge base, and respond via GPT-4o.
The only meaningful cost is API usage, typically cents per interaction. The knowledge base evolves with the business, so answers never go stale.
