new model drops every week and my automations still break for the same dumb reasons they did 6 months ago lol. feels like the prompt and the workflow do like 90% of the work and the model is just the part people screenshot. anyone actually had a new model change something they built, or is it all benchmark hype?

A failed text is easy to miss and costly to ignore. When a message bounces, tag the contact with something obvious, add a task to try another channel, and set a short wait before the next attempt. In GoHighLevel the failed-delivery status can trigger all three, so no lead disappears quietly. What do you do when a text doesn't deliver?

hot take: automating your own boring daily stuff is kinda overrated. spent a whole weekend building a bot to sort my inbox and i still check it every morning lol. the stuff that actually makes money is what other people are waiting on, so am i wrong or what?

ngl midjourney and nano banana for thumbnails and product shots is kinda overrated. everyone's output looks the same plastic glow and people clock it instantly. i still shoot the product on my phone by a window and only use ai for cleanup, am i wrong or is everyone just scared of the uncanny look

Duplicates sneak in when the same person arrives through two routes, or when a step runs twice after a failure. Decide what makes a record the same before you build. An email address works for many cases, a phone number for others, and sometimes you need both. Search for an existing record first, then update it instead of creating a new one. Make steps safe to repeat. If a step runs again, it should leave the same result rather than add another copy. Run a regular check for near matches, such as small spelling differences, and merge them with care. How do you decide that two records are the same?
