Finance teams waste 20+ hours every month doing manual data entry:
Export budget numbers -> hunt down department leads for explanations -> copy-paste everything into a slide deck.
The spreadsheet tells leadership what happened. But explaining why is what burns time.
I automated the entire cycle:
• Pairs numbers with context: Instantly connects budget overruns to actual operational causes (cloud migrations, commission accelerators, onboarding delays).
• Cuts the noise: Filters out small immaterial variances so leadership only sees what impacts EBITDA.
• Zero slide building: Auto-generates a branded, 3-slide executive deck in Google Slides and drops the summary into Slack. From raw accounting files to an executive-ready deck in under 2 minutes.
Watch the full flow in the video below.

LumaClean was losing hours to manual quoting, scheduling, confirmations, rescheduling, and follow-up. LumaFlow turns that entire process into one automated booking workflow.
I built LumaFlow for a fictional Chicago cleaning business, LumaClean.
The problem was simple: too much back-and-forth just to turn a customer inquiry into a confirmed booking.
So I built a workflow that handles the journey:
→ Instant quote
→ Smart availability
→ $40 deposit
→ Booking confirmation
→ Reminders
→ Rescheduling
→ Booking recovery
The goal wasn't to build another pretty booking page.
It was to give the owner less work to do.

Built this AI agent to find, organize, and manage leads through Gmail, helping automate lead handling and outreach.
n8n is absolute gold for orchestrating lead pipelines like this! Connecting Gmail parsing with LLM qualification saves teams dozens of hours weekly. As someone who builds custom agentic lead automation workflows, seeing clean visual architectures like this is super satisfying. Top-tier build, Talha!.
A purchase order arrives by email. 38 seconds later it's registered, stock is checked, the team is notified and the client has a confirmation. Nobody typed anything.
We filmed the PO intake agent in TechFoundry IMS end to end for the first time. Watch it here https://youtu.be/zoVYPD8qpCs
Email comes in, the agent reads the PDF line by line and matches every line to the catalog, the PO gets registered with a status timeline, and an acknowledgment goes back to the client with the same lines on it.
The boring parts are the ones that made it usable. Only approved senders get in. Every email in and out is logged. And the agent never touches stock levels, it registers and notifies, people decide.
The part that took longest wasn't the reading. It was the matching. A supplier's PDF never uses your part numbers, so "resolve to catalog" is where most of the real work sits.
If you're still keying POs in by hand, I'm curious what your inbox looks like on a Monday.
