Things are about to get crazy! On September 22nd, we’re kicking off our second AIS+ Hackathon, same $5,000 grand prize, same $1,000 beginner prize, but a totally different focus. This time, it’s all about lead generation automations that small businesses can actually use. Imagine creating a system that automatically finds new customers every week: - A plumber in Austin getting fresh leads from Google Maps. - A local gym targeting people posting about fitness in their city. - An agency scraping LinkedIn for B2B prospects and enriching them with Clearbit. That’s what this hackathon is about, building something valuable enough that small businesses would pay you for it. The catch? You have to be an AIS+ member. Click here to get all the details The short version: → If you’re a beginner, you get all of the training and support you need to get started. → If you’re a pro, this is your chance to show off your skills and win $5000, plus get featured on my YouTube channel. If you’ve been waiting for a good reason to join, this is it. :-) Claim your spot before we start the Hackathon on Sep 22nd! Cheers, Nate

In August, we made history by hosting the first-ever official hackathon inside AI Automation Society Plus, and it was all about Voice AI Agents. This was about more than just winning, it was about progress, learning, and collaboration. That’s why we created a Pro track and a Beginner track, so everyone could participate regardless of where they were in their AI automation journey. A huge shoutout to the AIS+ team for making this possible: → @Yash Chauhan – leading the initiative, keeping members on track → @Jon Morrow – handling marketing and operations → @Apollo Martz & @Ednan Abdullayev – shaping the AIS+ culture and making sure members got the support they needed every step of the way 🎖 Honorable Mentions: → Pro: @Brett Fairall — for his innovative gamified debate trainer → Beginner: @Mukund Heda & @Amir Davari — for their clear progression, creativity, and consistent improvements 🏆 Winners: → Pro Track ($5K): @Azim K — with a mental health voice agent that was polished, impactful, and beautifully executed → Beginner Track ($1K): @Kyle Stefan — with a creative fashion shopper agent, showing massive dedication and growth as a beginner You can check out the winning submissions AND the n8n templates if you are a Plus member :) This was just the beginning. We’ll continue refining and making hackathons a regular part of AIS+, creating more opportunities for members to build, learn, and showcase their work. 👉 Want to participate in the September Hackathon? You’ll need to be an AIS+ member. Join here: https://www.skool.com/ai-automation-society-plus/about

One thing I would like to see more of n8n YouTube video content is the use and function of important n8n nodes.. I believe everyone is showing off workflows which becomes a blur. To really learn what options we have is to showcase the power of n8n, their nodes, what they do, and how there are configured. I also feel that having n8n automation videos stating how much money people made from them is ridiculous and serves no value. Wondering if any one has thoughts on this or a different opinion. Am I missing something?

Wondering if anyone from this community is attending the n8n event in NYC next week? If so, shout out! Would be nice to connect in person.

Wondering if anyone knows other AI Automation user groups whose discussions are about the technology mainly and troubleshooting automation functionality?
