Delivered my first AI automation — now trying to escape the 9–5

Just launched my first real AI system in production — a full automation for a client (invoice OCR → NGP classification → customs reports). Built with n8n & Streamlit. It’s live. It works. It saves hours.

Thanks

@Nate Herk

for the Base44 tutorial — just used it to build my first landing page after shipping the project. Clean, fast, no-code frontend (Take a look -> https://zync-ai-systems.base44.app/) !

Now I need your advice:

Where are you finding paid clients?
Are platforms like Upwork actually working?
How do you handle outreach when you’ve got a full-time job?

I’m a robotics & automation engineer in aerospace — Just started a Québec-registered agency (ZyncAI Systems) on the side — but it’s hard doing two jobs. Thinking of going all-in.

To everyone building after hours: you’re not alone. Let’s help each other break out.
