I want to automate myself out of my current role. I'm currently an SDR at a SaaS company, and my job is to fill our Account Executives' calendars with qualified meetings. My goal is to build an AI outbound system that consistently books enough qualified meetings to pay for itself. If I can do that, I'll have transformed my role from manually prospecting every day into managing an automated revenue engine. That's why I joined this community. I'm hoping to learn from operators, agency owners, and builders with real-world experience automating outbound. From prospecting and personalization to follow-ups, reply management, qualification, and meeting booking. If you've built successful AI outreach systems, tested AI SDRs, or learned hard lessons along the way, I'd love to hear about your experience. Looking forward to learning from you all.

Most people think the risk with AI agents is bad output. Wrong. The real risk is an agent that deletes a record or sends the wrong email while nobody's watching. Here's the move. n8n just shipped human-in-the-loop approval at the tool level. 🟠 Mark any tool "Require approval." Delete, send, write to production. Only the dangerous ones. 🟠 When the agent tries to fire it, n8n pauses and pings you in Slack or Telegram with the exact action. You approve or deny. 🟠 Everything else runs full speed. They also added native MCP servers. Pick Notion, Linear, or monday, sign in, done. One catch. Gate too many tools and you're back to babysitting. Approve only the irreversible stuff. Operators who let agents run with guardrails win. Everyone else keeps doing it by hand. Comment GATE and I'll send you the 3 tools I'd put behind approval first.

Real case study for the Automation Academy community: Client: real estate agency (Romania) Challenge: manually checking 100+ property listings across multiple platforms Solution: n8n workflow on Oracle Cloud free tier What I built: ✅ Scraper monitoring 100+ listings every 15 minutes ✅ Instant Telegram alerts for new properties ✅ Auto-filters by location, price, property type ✅ Logs everything to PostgreSQL for follow-up ✅ Zero downtime — runs 24/7 on Oracle Cloud (ARM64) Stack: • n8n (self-hosted on Oracle Cloud free tier) • PostgreSQL (also free tier) • Telegram Bot API • Total monthly cost: €0 This is exactly the kind of system that replaces a VA doing manual research 8 hours/day.

Hey everyone - glad to have you here! Whether you joined for the classes, the community, or both, this will be the most valuable investment you've made if you actually use it. Most people join things like this and never do anything with them. Don't be that person. I created this community to help you grow in your business, career, your personal life, and connect with like-minded people who are actually doing the work. It's about you and I hope you enjoy everything my team and I have put into it. First thing - book your onboarding call with me: BOOK FREE ONBOARDING CALL This is a one-time call where we'll go over what you're trying to build and give you a custom roadmap. Most people skip this and wonder why they're not getting results. Don't skip it. New here and on the free plan? You still get access to the first 4 modules of every mastery course — check the "Free Preview" versions in the Classroom. Second thing - introduce yourself below: - What's your name? - Where are you based? - What made you join and what are you trying to build? I want to see where everyone's coming from and what you're working on. The courses cover AI video mastery, automation, sales frameworks, prompt engineering, GHL, and more. The AI space is evolving fast and I'm adding new stuff constantly so you have the most current training. Before you touch any course, watch the mindset videos. I know it sounds like something you'd skip. Don't. People who actually build stuff and get results watch these first. People who just collect courses and never execute skip them. The community part matters more than you think. Ask questions. Answer questions. Share what you're building. The people who engage here get way more out of it than the ones who lurk. That's just how it works. If you're looking to hire, get hired, or partner with someone, check the Partnerships section. Weekly Live Class (Code Brew): Every Thursday 8am - 9am PST. Bring your questions and anything you're stuck on. We go through it together live.
