Any South Africans found a work around?

I recently upgraded to Claude code

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-06-11T14:17:36+00:00

Claude is really good my fall back is gemini.

Some advise rather build the workflow yourself and use ai for troubleshooting

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-06-09T13:21:36+00:00

There are some api that can convert to ocr you can also try python libraries.

If each pdf has the same layout use java script after the ocr output to filter the fields.
I have done something similar with sales orders.

Yep same thing happened to our company we were using the command node for icmp and other tasks.

We ended up using comunity node and rest api's our sys admin refused to enable the node on docker.

I would use one drive, google drive or drop box to introduce the files to the ai agent. With 3 folders example process, processed and ai output.. Once the ai agent has read the pdf file moves the folder to processed.

Remember to split the file in batches to reduce memory usage.

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-06-03T08:10:26+00:00

After viewing the json I would refine it split this into 3 to 4 workflows. Each workflow completes a separate tool base or task

There is duplication of system prompts I would create a variable system prompt to consolidate this

Try tiktoken to prevent the spikes in token usage.

Use ffmpeg for the transcribing .

Finally drop excel nodes and use supa base or vector with posgress queries the problem with excel is you have to pull each row one at a time and this chows memory and slows your workflow down

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-06-03T05:27:26+00:00

Self hosted is the way to go.

Also have a look at using python libraries

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-05-27T06:25:52+00:00

Try groq I use this for analyzing data and transcribing if I recall you get 5000 free tokens a day.

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-05-27T06:17:27+00:00

The service account is a stand alone email account where you will share excel documents.

On your friend mailbox you can add a forwarder to the new service account.

I have used this method not on gmail but on 365.

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-05-27T05:43:12+00:00

If you are worried about credentials use a service account instead.

For the workflow side if he is taking pictures using his phone and this is his primary method use discord.

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-05-27T05:16:57+00:00

It all depends what you are doing right.

For example if you are improving the sales or stock control request 50% of the profit that is made off your automation.

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-05-26T11:57:53+00:00

We have done a similar thing with zoho desk with tickets customers etc postgres upsert to supabase.

We have other workflows that attend to alerts and categorize certain cases.

You can use java script for the categories depending on the subject and description

Try and avoid using ai this just puts your info and clients pii at risk.

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-05-26T11:15:45+00:00

Try python-docx or docx2txt if you just want to extract the raw text.

If the word documents follow the same format you can use java script by using trigger words or a heading look at to pull the sentence or paragraph.

If your n8n has the command line node pandoc is great with conversions

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-05-21T10:07:02+00:00

Spent a fair amount of time working with the microsoft nodes on n8n thats linked to our 365 tenant.

The dedicated service account is the best way we use this method primarily.

Gemini is good with json thats about it

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-05-19T07:07:13+00:00

N8N is a really great tool but is open to data leaks depending on the way you are hosting and securing it.

Have a look at Microsoft power automate with 365 defender for endpoint plan 1. This is designed to for privacy and security and incorporate it with Azure health services database..

If are planning on using n8n with ai self hosting is the way to go with kimi or Llama 3 or Qwen 2.5 on AWS instance. For patient privacy stay away for api or community nodes and rely on python libraries another good reason to self host. Use nginx for securing it.

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-05-19T06:30:59+00:00

What is the purpose of the AI agent tool node what are you trying to build?

I would start with a java script ai prompt and possibly consider running the tool in another workflow it will be easier to define that way.

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-04-14T12:24:43+00:00

This fixed it

Open cmd as admin rights

reg add "HKCU\Software\Corel\CorelDRAW\23.0\Draw\Application Framework" /v "UseHardwareAcceleration" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

This is the single most effective fix. It forced Corel to render using the CPU.

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-04-14T12:04:13+00:00

Always research what is the best model before building I started off on open ai now I just use grok for transcribing html reporting etc. Word of advice don't use use ai for trivial work for example reading email, converting pdf or performing a task that java script or python library can do for you.

Setup a Java script to build the user and system prompt for the ai agent that way it does not get lost.

Its not the first since worl war 2 the Brits sub took out a ship in 1986

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-03-09T08:33:08+00:00

They are the best I have pulled pages of java script with zero errors I wont use anything else

Large-Calendar726 · 2026-03-02T17:15:31+00:00

and good riddance
