Rigolo is an event-driven, low-code Python framework with a visual node editor inside VSCode. Connect pre-built blocks, write the business logic that matters, and deploy — without rewriting boilerplate every time.

It is not a replacement for n8n, Zapier, or Make — those are great tools for what they do. Rigolo is a backend engineering layer for developers who want reusable, composable Python systems that produce consistent outcomes, with or without AI assistance.

01 — Philosophy
A different kind of tool
n8n, Zapier, and Make are excellent at what they do. Rigolo is something else entirely — a backend engineering layer for developers who want to build reusable, composable Python systems from inside their editor.
02 — Blocks
Reuse over rewrite
Build a library of pre-built blocks once. Connect them to form pipelines. Custom blocks live in your repo — versioned, typed, and importable like any Python module.
03 — AI
LLMs for logic, not glue
Stop asking LLMs to regenerate the same boilerplate on every project. Let Rigolo own the structure — use AI for business logic, where it actually delivers consistent, meaningful output.
04 — Deploy
Visual canvas → production
Design your event-driven flow in VSCode, then deploy it. Same graph, same outcome — regardless of who wrote which block or which AI helped with which step.
