Designed and implemented a full operational workflow for an independent consultant using AI and automation tools. Mapped all manual processes and replaced them with automated systems, significantly reducing admin time and enabling the client to focus entirely on billable creative work.

AI-Powered Outreach Automation (n8n)
Built a workflow that turns outreach into a structured pipeline.
The system:
• Pulls verified leads from Supabase
• Uses AI to generate personalized emails
• Sends outreach via Gmail
• Monitors replies and analyzes sentiment
• Routes responses automatically (book meeting, review, or archive)
• Sends follow-ups if there’s no reply after 48 hours
Result: a fully automated pipeline that moves leads → conversations → booked meetings.
Designed for creators, agencies, and teams running outbound outreach at scale.
Nice workflow. Using AI to personalize outreach and track replies in one pipeline is really useful.
Craft Remains!
At our studio, we enjoy incorporating AI tools to improve our process, but we still have a strong love for the craft and the human aspect behind it.
Here’s a reel of some illustration processes created by our team, DSpot, over the last year.
Is there an illustration process you’d like to share?
We’d love to see it and provide feedback and tips!
Amazing process and reel!
Built a full-stack AI automation system that transforms how the company responds to RFPs.
Users upload RFP documents (PDF/Excel) through a web portal. An n8n pipeline processes the upload: AI parses the document to extract key fields (issuer, scope, budget, deadline), classifies the service line, matches content from an Airtable library (team bios, references, portfolio), and generates 80-90% complete proposal drafts with cover letter, company overview, technical approach, and more. Output is a formatted Word document ready for review.
Results:
✅ Reduced proposal creation from 4-6 hours to under 30 minutes
✅ 90% auto-complete rate on proposal sections
✅ 14+ RFPs processed through the pipeline
✅ Full proposal dashboard with status tracking
Tech: n8n, OpenAI, Airtable, Vercel, Webhooks
This is a really interesting automation workflow, Peter. Using AI to parse RFPs and streamline proposals is a smart use case.
