Autowolf

Automation Guide · Wolflow Suite

An AI-powered guide for building automations in n8n, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio. Describe what you want to build in plain language — Autowolf tells you exactly which nodes, connectors, and auth methods to use, and walks you through each step.

Built with the Anthropic Claude API and web search, so guidance is current rather than cached.

Hosted version: wolflow.ai/autowolf — free, no install, bring your own Anthropic API key (it stays in your browser's memory, never stored). This repo is the run-it-locally version, which keeps your key server-side behind a small proxy instead.

• Select a platform: n8n, Power Automate, or Copilot Studio
• Describe your automation goal in plain language
• Get opinionated, step-by-step guidance — no options menus, no "it depends"
• Sessions persist in localStorage, named by platform and timestamp
• Export sessions as JSON (backup/restore) or TXT (readable conversation)

• Node.js v18 or later
• An Anthropic API key

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/autowolf.git
cd autowolf

2. Install backend dependencies

cd backend
npm install

3. Create your start script

Copy start.example.bat to start.bat in the root folder:

autowolf\
  start.example.bat   ← template, safe to commit
  start.bat           ← your copy, never committed

Open start.bat in Notepad and replace the placeholder with your Anthropic API key:

set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-your-actual-key-here

Save and close.

4. Run Autowolf

Double-click start.bat. It will:

• Open the Node proxy in its own terminal window (port 3001)
• Launch the frontend in Chrome automatically

To shut down, close the proxy terminal window.

Browsers block direct calls to the Anthropic API (CORS). The local Express proxy forwards your requests server-side, keeping your API key out of the browser entirely. Your key is set in start.bat as an environment variable — it never touches the frontend or the repo.

start.bat contains your API key in plain text and is excluded from the repo via .gitignore. Never commit it. If you accidentally push it, rotate your key immediately at console.anthropic.com.

Sessions are stored in your browser's localStorage and survive page refreshes. Each session is named by platform and timestamp (e.g. n8n · 20260430_1437). Use Export TXT to save a readable conversation and Export JSON to back up all sessions for import on another machine.

Open source. Bring your own Anthropic API key.
