Release I built an open-source tool for automating Windows tasks with a visual designer instead of scattered PowerShell scripts

This is NodePilot, a tool for automating tasks in Windows environments. It is completely open source under the Apache 2.0 license, and there are no features behind a paywall.

I was tired of relying on several PowerShell scripts without having a good way to monitor what was happening across my systems. Since a large part of my work involves programming, and AI tools have become much more capable (AI was also used to built this project), I eventually decided to build my own solution, inspired by tools like System Center Orchestrator or n8n.

NodePilot can also be used as a no-code platform because of its ability to create PowerShell scripts and even whole workflows with AI. It also offers several built-in actions like REST, SQL, WMI, registry, file, service, LLM activities, and more.

For a quick start, you can download the desktop version for Windows 11 that bundles everything. You can find it under Releases in the repository.

Love to hear that! Since this is still a very new project, feedback is what I need most right now. So don't hesitate to open a GitHub issue or just reach out to me on Reddit!
