Most of my client work starts with one sentence: "We copy this data by hand every week."
I build Python scrapers and automations (Playwright, Selenium, APIs) that pull that data on a schedule and drop it cleanly into a CSV, Google Sheets or a database. They handle logins, pagination and messy HTML.
If your team has a repetitive data task, tell me what it is in the comments and I'll tell you how I'd automate it.

Let's play a game: What's the one task in your business you'd happily NEVER do manually again? 😂
I'll go first.
Imagine having to:
Copy customer details from one platform to another
Send the same follow-up emails every week.
Manually update spreadsheets whenever a new order comes in.
Sort through leads just to figure out who to contact next.
Create reports by collecting information from five different places.
Now imagine an AI-powered workflow handling all of that while you focus on actually growing your business.
That's the interesting thing about AI automation. It's not just about using AI because it's trending. It's about eliminating unnecessary work, reducing repetitive tasks, and making everyday processes easier.
Your turn! 👇
If you could automate ONE task in your business or daily workflow today, what would it be?
Be specific. I might even share how I'd approach automating some of your answers.
Let's see which task wins! 😂
Built myself a little command center for my freelance work this week. It’s called Bench.
Contra handles the contracts and payments, but my day-to-day was scattered across Contra chats, Gmail, my calendar, Notion, and a notes app. So I pulled it all into one place:
• A dashboard showing what needs me today: unread messages, overdue tasks, past-due invoices, leads that have gone quiet
• Each project gets its own page with scope, deliveries, tasks, links, and the full message thread from Contra and email
• A pipeline for leads, including a “Ghosted” column, because we’ve all been there
• A time tracker for the hourly stuff
• It syncs with my Contra projects and invoices every morning
Curious how other freelancers here keep track of everything. Spreadsheets? Notion? Pure chaos?
Hey, Mr. @Chris Luniewicz This is honestly impressive! I'm also curious to know what tech stack you used to build 👍
Quote Follow-Up Automation for HVAC & Plumbing
Most home-service quotes don’t get rejected, they just go quiet. I built a system that follows up on them automatically.
What it does
Takes each quote through a simple form
Schedules up to 8 timed texts over 30 days
Stops instantly on a reply, a STOP, or a booked/lost update
Uses AI to draft replies to objections, with a human approving every one
Built with safety first
No duplicate texts, even when processes overlap
Only contractor-approved wording is sent
Texts go out only during local business hours
Opt-outs are honored immediately
Stack: n8n, Postgres, Groq, Docker, Twilio
Status: built and tested end to end, ready to pilot.
I build automation systems like this for service businesses. Message me if you’d like one for yours😊 .
