A few months ago I was spending 3-4 hours a day manually researching leads, writing personalised emails, and following up. Classic agency grind. Then I built a fully automated cold email workflow in n8n that handles the entire process — from lead research to personalised copy to sending — without me touching it. Here's the exact flow: Step 1 — Lead inputI feed a list of business names + URLs into a Google Sheet. n8n watches the sheet and picks up new rows automatically. Step 2 — AI enrichmentFor each lead, n8n scrapes the company website and pulls key info: what they do, recent blog posts, any pain points mentioned. This context goes to GPT-4o. Step 3 — Personalised email generationGPT-4o writes a custom opening line referencing something specific about that company — not generic "I loved your website" stuff. Real specifics. Then it slots that into a proven email framework. Step 4 — Send + trackThe email goes out via SMTP (or whatever sending tool you use). Lead status in the sheet updates automatically to "Sent." Step 5 — Follow-up sequenceIf no reply after 3 days, a follow-up gets triggered automatically. Different angle, shorter copy. Works like a drip. The result? I went from spending ~4 hours/day on outreach to about 15 minutes reviewing what went out. Reply rates actually went UP because the personalisation improved. The whole thing runs on n8n (self-hosted or cloud), costs almost nothing to operate, and took me about a weekend to build the first version. If you're running an AI agency or selling any kind of B2B service, this is probably the highest-ROI automation you can build right now. Drop a comment below if you want me to break down any specific step in more detail — happy to go deeper on the AI prompt structure or the follow-up logic 👇

Spent the last month building Claude Code configurations that actually work. Subagent architectures, MCP setups, prompt chains — the stuff that takes your Claude Code from 'fancy autocomplete' to 'actual AI teammate.' Happy to share the thinking if anyone's interested.

Quick news. We're doing our first virtual event, and the rule is simple: every person on stage has to show their actual work. The actual projects they're selling. The actual outreach they're using to land clients. The actual numbers behind it. No theory. No tutorials. Just what's working in 2026, taught by the people doing it. Waitlist's open. Get on it before tickets go live: -> What's working in AI in 2026 (real projects, real revenue) PS: Annual members of AIS+ get in for free. We will be announcing discounts for monthly members. If you’ve been thinking about joining AIS+, it’s a good time.

Printing Press lets you turn any tool into a CLI that AI agents can actually use efficiently. It gives you a catalog of ready to go CLIs and also helps you turn almost anything into a CLI in minutes. If you've ever watched MCPs eat your tokens for breakfast, this video shows why CLIs are the better path for agent setups.

We just rebuilt AI Automation Society Plus from the ground up around one question: how do you actually make money with Claude Code? Here's what's inside now: - 4 Claude Code courses where you build real automations (not theory, you walk away with a portfolio) - Get Your First Client: step-by-step warm outreach and Upwork strategies to land paying clients - The AI Partner Model: the exact business model I used to build a million-dollar agency - A clear 3-phase path: Build Your Portfolio → Get Your First Client → Scale To celebrate the release, the annual plan is $699 right now. That's $58/month instead of $99. Plus a 7-day money back guarantee on annual. Click here for more info: https://www.skool.com/ai-automation-society-plus/about - Nate
