Hi all @Nate Herk Quick question for those who do website work regularly... I have a process for building sites from scratch for businesses with no existing website. We're now adapting it for rebuilds, businesses that already have a site and want it redone. It's proving to be a different challenge: working around existing content and structure rather than starting clean. For anyone who does rebuilds regularly, what does your workflow look like? Particularly interested in how you decide what to keep versus rebuild, and how you handle creative direction when a client is attached to their current site. Appreciate any guidance! Thanks

Hey everyone, my name is Jamie, I wanted to drop an intro post and connect with people building custom automation frameworks. I'm a mechanical engineer by degree, and an automation addict by choice. I’ve spent the last year diving deep into the automation space. I started out messing around with low-code tools like Make and n8n, but I’ve recently hit the limits of what I want to do there. Right now, I'm pivoting toward a more robust, programmatic route - learning advanced webhook management, Cloudflare Workers, and Cloudflare D1 to build lightweight, fast, and highly customized backends. My entry point into this space was actually trying to automate content creation workflows because I wanted a systematic way to handle video production. Once I got a taste of process control here, I became completely hooked on the ability to eliminate repetitive tasks entirely. To be completely transparent, I have severe ADHD. For me, automation isn't just about saving a few minutes; it's a critical tool for managing chaos. If a task is repetitive, my brain drops the ball. Building automated systems is how I create predictable feedback loops to keep my workflows and projects on track. My question for the group: Is anyone else building their automation architecture heavily around the Cloudflare ecosystem (Workers + D1/KV) instead of relying on standard iPaaS platforms? If you’ve gone this route for handling webhooks and data pipelines, what did your learning curve look like, and what are the major engineering gotchas I should look out for early on? Appreciate any insights or architecture advice. Glad to be here.

Lately I’ve been tempted to automate almost every part of my life and business — inbox, calendar, content, lead follow-up, even home routines. The problem: the more I learn, the harder it is to decide where to start without turning it into another giant project I never finish. Instead of just “automate everything,” I’m trying to focus on a handful of high-leverage areas and build from there. Curious how you’re all approaching this: - What’s the first thing you automated that actually changed your day-to-day (not just felt cool)? - If you had to pick only 2–3 workflows to automate in your life/business right now, what would they be and why? - Any rules you use to decide: “this gets an AI agent” vs “this stays manual for now”? If you’re open to it, drop: 1. Your niche / situation 2. The one automation that’s made the biggest difference 3. The next automation you’re excited to build Hoping this thread becomes a mini playbook for prioritizing—so people scrolling don’t just see what’s possible, but what’s actually worth building first. I’ll share mine in the comments once a few of you do the same so we can compare notes and steal from each other.

Some of you have never heard of the AIS+ community. Others have but the part that trips you up is the actual difference between the two. Either way, this post will give you clarity. This free group is a bundle of quick resources pulled from my YouTube videos, plus a massive open community that anyone can join. It's a great place to get your bearings and see what's possible. But it's open to everyone, it can be noisy and overwhelming, and there's no path through it. You can get help from other members, but I rarely answer questions here. AIS+ is the opposite: - A step by step roadmap with a clear order, so you're never guessing what to do next - A much smaller community of people who are seriously committed to building and selling AI agents - I answer questions every day and run a weekly Q&A call where you can get direct access to me For the course material: The roadmap takes you from zero to building and selling AI agents, and the whole thing is built on the latest tech like Claude Code and Codex. We update it constantly. The old n8n material has been archived. It's still there if you want it, but it's no longer the focus, because the way you build today has moved on and the courses moved with it. Here's the actual roadmap inside, in order, with when each piece opens up: 1. Start Here (opens the moment you join). Gets you oriented. How the community works, the path ahead, and how to get help when you need it. 2. Build Your Portfolio (opens the moment you join). Why a portfolio matters, beginner level tutorials, and what types of projects to focus on. You end up with real work you can show a client. 3. Claude Code (opens the moment you join). This is now its own dedicated course. Build faster, turn ideas into working automations, and go deep on the tool serious builders are using right now. This takes you from beginner to advanced, step-by-step. 4. Get Your First Clients (opens after 30 days). Getting your first clients is hard, because you don’t have any case studies yet. So, we analyzed all of the success stories from our members and found they get their initial clients with two different techniques: warm outreach and Upwork. So, we teach both techniques in detail with exactly what to say, exactly how to position yourself when you have no proof.
