I spent 7 years in software development It taught me a lot. I became top rated developer on upwork...worked on 150+ websites... but my clients kept asking for ai agents...I kept avoiding it because I knew the coding route + long learning curve but when n8n launched and did my research.....man...it changed everything Now I don't just build websites for my clients...but build their automations too Excited to learn from this community...share what I know...and build some crazy workflows along the way.

Before I write a line of code or spend a penny I ask one question. Is there evidence people are already paying to solve this problem? Not “would people want this.” Not “does this sound good.” Evidence. Real people. Real money already changing hands. AI has made it faster than ever to validate an idea before you build it. Reddit threads, reviews, forums. You can map a market in an afternoon now. What’s the first thing you do when a new idea hits you? Do you build first or validate first?

Hey everyone, I’m a complete beginner with 0 technical background, but I want to seriously get into AI automation/AI agency stuff starting today as Day 1. If you were in my position and had to start from scratch again, what would you learn first and in what order? Also: - What tools should I focus on first? - What skills actually matter in the beginning? - What should I avoid wasting time on? - And how would you get your first client as a beginner? - Would really appreciate a realistic roadmap from people who’ve already been through the process. 🙌

I let AI burn through $100 by mistake. Yesterday I started creating a LinkedIn lead-gen automation. Instead of building it in n8n, I figured why not build it with Codex? So off I went, managed to build a copy of CLAY (GTM tool), and got the output I wanted. So I went ahead and told Codex, "hey, run this system on all the items." It starts running, 30 minutes passes by, another 30 minutes. 2 hours later, I start wondering "what is going on, it should not take this long to enrich the leads." So I start looking over my accounts. And lo and behold, Codex had managed to burn through my credits without producing any sort of results. So here I am now, 688 leads I need to run through again and enrich. I give up on letting AI write scripts and then having the AI run them. This is not even the first time it has happened, first time with Codex for sure. But I've tried running a similar idea with OpenRouter + Apify before. That burned through both accounts without creating any sort of results. So from here on out, I'll let the AI create the scripts for me. I'll then run the scripts myself, since that's way safer than letting an AI tool try to use the tools.

@Nate Herk @Nate Herk I am so grateful for your free AI education. What I learned from you, and Sabrina Romanov, as a combination, has taught me so much! Today, I won 2nd place in a worldwide app competition for women app builders! This app build would not have been possible without two of your videos specifically, the videos you made on Claude /superpowers and Claude /ultrathink. I had developed an SOP based on everything that was in those videos and it worked so perfectly. I used your teachings and one-shotted my very first demo production app, entered in a competition as a first time app builder. It’s a demo app so it uses fake data which I also learned about from you as a way to test out app workflow. I couldn’t believe it today when I placed second in this worldwide competition!! And thank you for your free education it was possible because of what I learned from you!! Honestly all of the Claude best practices, all of your context saving tips and tricks, and all of your systematized building methods or what enabled me to be successful. I just wanna say thank you @Nate Herk you’re honestly been so generous with your talent and time and giving away all this education for free and I really appreciate you!! And to everyone else who is reading this if you’ve never built an app before and you’re stuck in research mode, just do it. After actually getting in there and working with all the tools, everything in Nate’s videos really started to make sense. I now have a level of confidence I never had before and I’m really excited to see what I can do with this app. I’m planning to release it commercially. At this time last year, I had never even touched AI. Just six months ago I was only using ChatGPT like a search engine. Three months ago that I serious and started thinking about building an app. April 24, I started building my first project and I had a deadline of May 1To get it into the competition.
