Despite eight years since the initial detection of gravitational waves, the astrophysical origin of these phenomena remains elusive. Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in a novel gravitational wave formation pathway: the active galactic nuclei (AGN) channel. I will overview the main astrophysical mechanisms of gravitational wave sources formation and then describe the key features of the AGN channel, discussing our ongoing efforts in modeling compact objects within accretion disks in AGNs.
