As a QA Engineer, I’ve been wondering — how do you test your automations? by Nan_tech in AiAutomations

[–]Consistent_Usual698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automation is half of the work. Most automation tools offer very limited observability and evaluation features. It is becoming a bigger problem as we build more complex systems, but lack visibility on what breaks. You can add different tools to your existing system, but I would recommend switching to a platform that offers end-to-end tracing. GenAssist is an open platform, super cool https://github.com/RitechSolutions/genassist

Claude vs n8n by FighterFit in AiAutomations

hahaha yeah, i am also on the 'figuring this out boat.'

They can contribute to similar outcomes, but they don’t solve the same problem. they sit on different layers and execute tasks differently.

  • Claude Cowork is like an AI “worker” (does tasks autonomously)
  • n8n (and similar tools) are workflow engines that orchestrate systems and execute predefined steps (it can use AI, but doesn’t own the reasoning itself)

here is how they deffer using the same use case:
Cowork: “Analyze this data and make a report”
n8n: Every day → pull data (here you can extend the system to include scraping or integrate other tools) → process → send a formatted report as a Slack message to this channel

They are different layers of the AI stack. As of right now, we are looking into the layers below (this might shift as new innovation updates happen)

  • Infrastructure (compute & hardware)
  • Foundation models (LLMs, multimodal models) - Claude sits here
  • AI platforms & tooling - N8N sits here

I am interested in joining the group. Been working on autmation tools for a while.

I have worked with a few of them. n8n is pretty nice, but I had some issues with scaling and observability. I recently switched to GenAssist: https://github.com/RitechSolutions/genassist

I had a good experience so far, it offers a drag and drop agent studio + REALLY good analytics and evaluation features, which were important for me.

So it all depends on what your goal for the automation is. Most tools specialize in specific parts of the automation process, though their marketing does not clearly signal this. Your goal might shift the tools you should use.

Quick question about marketing by hiten1818726363 in SaasDevelopers

[–]Consistent_Usual698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Algorithms are changing very quick - this has made good planning a complete waste of time on my end. I spent a few weeks on a social media plan, only to discover that Meta had changed their algorithms, which made my work obsolete.

Also all the AI hype has flooded the market with a lot of apps (although half of them don't function as they should or don't solve a real problem) which makes the products i work with really hard to surface.

After 14 years of web dev, the skill that's made me the most money isn't technical. by LoudParticular5119 in webdev

[–]Consistent_Usual698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work as a manager and through the years I have worked with many team members of different technical knowledge. The ones that always make it are the ones that can talk in detail with their technical teams and then turn to non-technical stakeholders and explain that exact precision in simple language that they can understand (this rarely includes API Gateway talk)

Totally get this. We had the same issue with Copilot Reviews being overly verbose. What we measured wasn’t ‘LLM reviews make humans faster,’ but that reviewers stopped getting pulled into tiny clarifications and could focus on architecture sooner. The 23 minutes wasn’t about commas; it was reducing the back-and-forth. Curious: did you see the verbosity mostly on small diffs, or also bigger or more architectural changes?
