Recently worked on an AI system for a music industry website redesign. There were two parts to it: 1. A public-facing AI chat widget for general queries + lead capture 2. A private, full-screen AI assistant inside the client portal. The second one was more interesting. The client didn’t just want “AI support” — they were concerned about users overusing it and burning unnecessary tokens. So instead of a typical chatbot, I designed a session-based interaction system: - Each user gets a 5-minute active window - At minute 4 → a warning is triggered (“1 minute left”) - At minute 5 → session ends + redirects to an external GPT - Then a 5-minute cooldown kicks in - After cooldown → user can start again It basically runs in a loop. What’s interesting is how this changes behavior: Users become more intentional with their questions instead of treating it like an endless chat. Also ended up optimizing one of their internal workflows in the process: A task that used to take ~6 hours manually is now done in under 10 minutes. No fancy theory here—just structuring AI usage in a way that actually makes sense operationally. Still experimenting with how far this “controlled AI interaction” approach can go.

Hi everyone, I am using WhatsApp Cloud API directly from Meta. Right now: - My app is in Development mode - I am using the Meta provided test phone number - Messaging works fine with the test number on n8n I have a few simple questions: 1. For real production usage (real WhatsApp number and real users), do I need to switch the app to Live mode? 2. Is the access token shown in the Quickstart / API Setup page only a temporary token and not recommended for production? 3. To get a permanent (non-expiring) access token, do I only need to switch app to Live mode or there is something else to do? 4. For automation, is it recommended to use a fresh/new WhatsApp number instead of an existing WhatsApp number? I want to be sure I am following the correct and safe process before going live. Thanks for your help.

Hey everyone 👋 I’m working on setting up an automation workflow that can find people who are looking to buy or sell a house — by monitoring intent-based content on Google, Reddit, and Facebook. Basically, I want to catch posts or comments where someone says something like: - “I’m thinking of selling my house” - “Looking to buy a home in [location]” - “Best agent to help sell fast” - “Any advice for first-time home buyers?”...you get the idea — real buyer/seller intent signals. - I’ve already tried tools like Browse AI and a couple of Apify scrapers, but honestly didn’t have much luck. Either they got blocked, missed key posts, or just didn’t go deep enough. 💡 So I thought I’d ask here: - Has anyone done something similar? - Any tools, scripts, or strategies that worked well for you? - Especially anything that worked reliably with Facebook groups, Reddit threads, or Google search results? I’m open to any suggestions — even partial wins or things to avoid would be super helpful. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hey everyone 👋 A few days ago, I shared a quick walkthrough of a system I built called TalkPilot. After that post, I started getting a lot of messages asking for a proper demo — how it actually behaves in real time and how it handles different scenarios. So I recorded a full working demo showing the complete flow. You can watch it here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/yash-maheshwari5_youre-losing-leads-even-though-people-activity-7422560191121944576-JUGF In this demo, I walk through how the system handles conversations from start to end. Some of the key things it covers: • identifies new vs existing leads using email • avoids duplicate entries in the CRM • remembers previous conversations and shows them with dates • allows notes to be added at any point and maintains a history of past notes • supports human approval for sensitive cases like discounts • allows users to update incorrect details (like email) • answers only business-related questions and ignores irrelevant ones • handles meeting booking, rescheduling, and cancellation • manages time zones correctly for both user and admin • sends automated reminders before meetings (24h and 30min) • tracks show and no-show scenarios • sends feedback or reschedule follow-ups automatically • maintains structured chat history and summarized conversation records This post is mainly to share the working demo and the overall thinking behind the system. In the upcoming videos, I’ll be breaking down how this system is developed — the logic, automation flow, and structure behind it. Would love to hear thoughts or suggestions from people building similar systems.

Hey everyone 👋 I’ve been working on an automation system recently and wanted to share it here to get some genuine feedback. Most chat systems I’ve seen are good at replying — but once conversations continue, things start breaking: users return, details change, meetings get rescheduled, timezones create confusion, and follow-ups don’t happen properly. So I built something called TalkPilot. The goal wasn’t to create another chatbot, but a system that can actually manage conversations end to end. It can: • remember users and past conversations • update details naturally during chat • book, reschedule, or cancel meetings • handle everything in the user’s timezone • send reminders automatically • ask for feedback after meetings • handle no-shows with reschedule links I’ve shared a short overview video on LinkedIn showing how the system looks in action. 👉 Watch here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/yash-maheshwari5_problem-most-businesses-rely-on-chat-systems-ugcPost-7418271469211865088-RRt9 This is just an overview — next I’ll be sharing how the whole system is built behind the scenes. Not selling anything here, just building and learning in public. Would genuinely love to hear your thoughts or suggestions 🙌
