AI does not solve a single problem a journalist faces:
It cannot surface the right topics
It cannot ask the right questions
It cannot distinguish between truth and spin
It’s literally a glorified typewriter useful just to editors who value speed above all else.

AI startups are in a peculiar position:
1. People need AI products.
2. People are fatigued and skeptical of AI products.
Address the AI skepticism by showing, not making claims:
put one CTA in the hero - a prompt box.
They try the product before creating an account. By the time you ask for a signup, they’re already hooked.
One catch: an empty prompt box leaves people stuck on what to type. A few one-click example prompts fix that.
AI WhatsApp Support Assistant (n8n Automation Demo)
Problem: Small businesses lose customers when WhatsApp messages sit unanswered, leads get buried in chats, and complaints are noticed too late.
What I built: An AI assistant that reads every incoming WhatsApp message and prepares a reply, while the owner stays in control.
Writes a reply draft from the business’s own info sheet. Nothing is sent until the owner approves it by email.
Captures real leads (name, interest, budget) into a Google Sheet.
Saves orders and appointment requests with a draft confirmation.
Alerts the owner on Discord for complaints and “talk to a human” requests.
Transcribes voice notes and handles them like text messages.
Alerts the owner to reply manually when someone sends an image or sticker.
Posts a daily 9 PM summary of the day’s conversations to Discord.
