I learned this in the hard way... What platforms are you using for email marketing campaigns? How your setup is looks like? What is conversion rate? 🧐

For 20 years my job has been making products, businesses and people look good. Turning their story into multimedia and branding, and amplifying it with movement, sound and colour. Now I'm in the most exciting stretch of my career. Work that used to take a crew of five and weeks now ships in days, from a two-person shop. I'm Juan. Colombian-Canadian, on the East Coast of Canada. I've been a member here for a while but quiet, because I've spent months in my studio building. Time to show what came out of it. My background is music, audio and video production and post for TV, film and social, plus years as an educator. My partner (a designer and art director) and I run Inspired Creative Group, and last year we flipped it to run fully on AI. I've used AI since ChatGPT launched in November 2022. At first that meant building web apps for my own production problems and copy-pasting between AI chats and my other tools. About a year ago I came across the idea of a full-stack AI company and got obsessed. I started building an agent or a workflow for every process we run. Today almost everything inside the company runs through them. Here's a quick look at what got built. ✷ The brain runs the company ▸ One self-hosted memory every agent reads from and writes back to. Work picks up where it left off. ▸ A coordinator on my phone (OpenClaw) routes each job and reports back. Heavy jobs run as Claude Code on my main machine. ✷ What runs on it ▸ Admin: proposals, invoices, calendar, time tracking, meeting notes ▸ Growth: finding and screening leads, free brand assessments, research, outreach and content in my voice. I press send. ▸ Production: concept, script, images, video, music, voiceover and sound. Some pieces ship with no hands-on technical work. When a job needs Premiere or After Effects, agents set it up inside them and we finish it. ▸ Quality: prompts reviewed before anything is generated, renders scored before they reach me ▸ Upkeep: agents ticket the faults they hit, a maintainer confirms and fixes them, and lessons from each job become new skills

Humans are vulnerable to prompt injection by nature.

Hey everyone! I’m building a one-person business and just getting started with AI automation. I handle content, client inquiries, and delivery myself. The workflow I want to fix first is what happens after someone messages me about my services. Say someone sees a short video I posted and DMs me asking about pricing. I reply between tasks, they say they’ll think about it, and three days later I’ve forgotten to follow up. I’m thinking of starting with a simple Google Sheet: who reached out, what they asked for, and when I should follow up. Once a day, I’d use AI to turn the due rows into a short list and draft a reply based on my notes. If that saves time, I’d automate the daily reminder and keep sending the messages myself. If you run a business solo, what’s the simplest follow-up setup you actually stuck with? Did a spreadsheet and a daily reminder do the job, or was there a step you wished you’d automated from day one?

someone im connected with on linkedin booked 30 min through my calendar link. he helps run a medical clinic so honestly a real fit for a voice agent. i spent the morning preparing my questions 9:30 im on the meet. nobody at 9:31 i emailed him that i was on the call. at 9:50 i sent a second one with a new time later this week, same link. still no reply maybe he just forgot, maybe something came up and he really couldnt. either way i wasnt in a great mood the rest of the day next time im sending a reminder the evening before with one line on what we'll cover, so he has a reason to show up or a chance to move it how do you guys cut no-shows on discovery calls?
