n8n Labs open-sources Nod, a personal agent that survived all 216 prompt-injection attacks in WhisperBench

n8n Labs released Nod, an open-source personal agent that runs locally with its own browser to handle tasks like prepping calls, collecting invoices, and canceling subscriptions, using the AI provider you choose.
Its design centers on prompt-injection defense:
- Only your words count as permission — hidden instructions in emails or web pages are treated as content it merely read, not commands
- It confirms before sending, paying, posting, or deleting anything you didn't explicitly ask for
- Saved logins and cards sit in a vault the model never sees
In the WhisperBench test, none of 216 attacks managed to plant a false memory, a number the author hopes more agent teams will publish.
