Most businesses don’t need more software. They need less manual work.
A customer sends a message → someone has to reply.
A lead comes in → someone has to follow up.
Someone wants to book → someone has to coordinate it.
A team gets repetitive questions → someone answers them again and again.
I’m exploring how AI agents and automation can take over these repetitive workflows while keeping the business owner in control.
I build with modern web technologies and AI APIs to turn these ideas into practical tools — from AI customer support and lead qualification to appointment booking and internal automation.
If you’re a business owner and there’s a repetitive process in your business that wastes your team’s time, tell me what it is. I want to see if I can automate it.
Back in 2016 I made a lot of cinemagraphs for HBO.
They took a surprising amount of work. Masking footage, finding the right loop, freezing parts of the frame and getting everything to transition cleanly.
I’ve had an idea for a simpler cinemagraph tool kicking around in my head ever since.
About a month ago I built another small tool using Toolcraft as the starting point, so yesterday I wanted to see if it could handle this idea too.
A few hours later I had a working cinemagraph editor.
Drop in a video → find your loop → choose how it loops → paint the areas you want to keep still → export.
Basically the workflow I used 10 years ago, condensed into a few controls.
Still rough around the edges, but kind of wild to finally build a tool I’ve been thinking about for a decade.
The masking-and-looping history is exactly why a simpler cinemagraph workflow feels valuable; the tricky part is preserving a seamless transition without making the tool feel like a timeline editor. Curious direction for an AI-assisted app.
I built an automated lead management workflow using n8n that captures incoming leads, stores them in Google Sheets, and instantly notifies the sales team on Telegram.
Capture → Enrich → Score → Save → Notify
Built to reduce manual work, improve response time, and prevent missed leads.
Nice work sir,
Sir we can Build this normally with App script. I just Built yesterday.
Where Google sheet will received the leads from any channel + store and distribute as per described assignment rules and notify with lead details to respected person.
The two directions make the comparison easy to understand, and the editorial option feels especially aligned with a chess club’s sense of heritage and focus.
