Self-built AI automation demo using n8n and LLMs to handle common e-commerce support requests. The workflow combines external REST API lookups, RAG-based policy retrieval, session memory, structured validation, retry handling, execution logging, and failure alerts. Built with a production-oriented approach where AI handles language understanding while deterministic workflow logic handles validation and system actions.

Lost 2 days building a complex n8n workflow. Here's what I learned.✌️
The project: A 12-node AI Receptionist automation for a luxury resort in Bangladesh. Multi-channel (WhatsApp, Telegram, Voice), 9 Google Sheets, Gemini API, payment automation, customer CRM.
What went wrong: Added a new voice integration node. Accidentally deleted the entire workflow.
Why it happened:
No JSON exports after milestones
No version control (Git)
Testing changes LIVE on production workflow
No documentation
Building locally with zero redundancy
The fix (now implemented):
✅ JSON backups after every 2-3 nodes
✅ GitHub versioning
✅ Clone workflows for testing
✅ Modular design
✅ Complete documentation
For automation professionals: You're not just builders—you're engineers.
Treat workflows like software:
Documentation
Version control
Backup strategy
Modular testing
Client delays = lost revenue + credibility damage.
Make the systems bulletproof.

I'd try restoring one of those JSON backups into a cloned workflow before the next handoff. That way you know it can actually get you running again.
What if customers could explore your product before asking about it?
FOLD is an original interactive camera concept by Launch in Seven. Turn it in 3D, try three finishes, unfold the lens, then frame a miniature sculpture garden and save your own postcard.
I built the camera, the scene and the working capture flow together. The images here come from the live prototype.
We can build a focused interactive launch page or product configurator around your idea. Message me with the product and the interaction you want visitors to try.
Fictional product study, not a client commission or physical camera for sale.
Built an AI-powered lead qualification workflow using n8n and an LLM. The automation receives lead data through a webhook, extracts structured information, evaluates intent and lead quality, validates the output, classifies leads as HOT/WARM/COLD, and routes the result for downstream processing. Designed with structured outputs and deterministic validation to keep business decisions reliable.
