I do not want to chase clients forever. So I started with this.
I built a workflow that does it for me instead.
Here is how it works:
Someone finds my free Automation Audit offer.
They fill out a short form.
n8n takes over from there.
↳ Captures their details
↳ Saves everything to Google Sheets
↳ Sends them a confirmation email with my portfolio
↳ Notifies me instantly
All of that happens in under 3 seconds.
This is what it looks like when you automate your own business first.
P.S. Do you automate things inside your own business or only for clients?

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.
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.
Built an AI-powered triage bot (WeSki Bot) for a ski travel company using n8n, Slack, HubSpot, Jira, and GPT-4.
Agents trigger the bot in Slack with a booking ID. It verifies trip details in HubSpot in real-time, then walks through a structured triage flow via threaded replies: collecting issue description, urgency, OPS needs, actions taken, and refund details.
GPT-4 processes inputs and auto-creates a Jira ticket with booking details, triage notes, SLAs, and refund amounts. A Slack notification posts with links to the Jira ticket and HubSpot deal.
Results:
✅ 60% faster response times
✅ Zero manual data entry
✅ 100% lead capture
✅ 24/7 automated triage
Tech: n8n, Slack, HubSpot, Jira, GPT-4, Google Sheets
