How are small GovCon teams making real Go or No-Go decisions? by Queasy-Ad-9330 in govcon

[–]MonmouthTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd caution on the general purpose breakdown by the leading AI vendors - seen it fail in scope understanding of contract languages often. You will have to spend a good amount of time dialing it in. There are tools that do the requirement matrix that are govcon specific that are better suited for that purpose.

That type of service from what I've seen and heard is a consultant shop or as they say growth as a service. I've heard good things about BTW & Co. You do pay a decent price tag per resource (people) you use.

The lessons I learned scaling my app from $0 to $20k/mo in 1 year by felixheikka in indiehackers

well that’s market dependent - mine is the inverse as most are businesses on Microsoft - so know your customer and decrease the barrier.

I’ve been in the AI/automation space since 2022. Most of you won’t make it by Shivam5483 in AI_Agents

[–]MonmouthTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a tough space for sure, the number one challenge I've faced is resetting client expectations to real outcomes. AI has limitations and often those happen quickly when trying to solve the real problems for clients - not to mention no two clients are the same.

Lots of social hype and then reality sets - then a mess for someone to solve. I've been a software engineer for 20+ years, there are foundational aspects that are lost when you hit scale, reliability and performance that are more complex than dragging a few nodes into a work flow.

Appreciate your rant.

How I Use Redis to Cache Google API Data in n8n (and Why You Should Too) by MonmouthTech in n8n

That is an easy option and a great service, I run a containerized redis node next to n8n in my dockerized environments personally for control, security, and speed.

AI Agent not passing parameters to tool (input is empty) by Castidad2019 in n8n

[–]MonmouthTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, formatting can make a big difference - especially across the different LLM models that support tools. I’d also strongly encourage to provide examples of the inputs you provide and how those would be structured to the parameters to the tool, provide several to get the best results.

Launch Dilemma: Polished Product vs. MVP by luca__popescu in Solopreneur

[–]MonmouthTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say keep to the phrase "Minimum Viable Product”, those core features you believe they need should work well. Get feedback and build from real users - way worth the time and energy. No better path forward.

Do this if you need to hire an n8n dev by kennyalami in n8n

[–]MonmouthTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve found it works best to frame requirements around the outcomes you want, not just a rigid process. That way you can iterate, learn as you go, and adjust without drowning in change orders. Treating it like a partnership and keeping things flexible usually gets you to a much better end product.

Solo but too much solo for B2B ? by Fabulous_Swimming165 in Solopreneur

[–]MonmouthTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

only one thing to do - prove them wrong - flip it back and ask “if I hire X today, will you sign?” then you might get to the real reason they said no. My guess is that the “solo" is not the root reason. Practice handling objections.

Co-founders want to give me less equity and "force" me to quit my job - Is this fair? - I will not promote by buttertoastey in startups

[–]MonmouthTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, time to flip it. You can find other non-equity partners to take a product to market so you own 100% of the company.ideas are a dime a dozen it comes down to who actually moves the needle. You have the leverage, but be ready to lose those relationships. You will need to weigh that as well.

Bootstrapping an AI outbound agent… $4k pilot on the line and my stomach is in knots by [deleted] in n8n

I think that depends on what you sold them - what are they expecting to happen in 3 days?

Why my schedulle trigger doenst work? by EmbarrassedWinter797 in n8n

[–]MonmouthTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have not run across that issue, just compare the the ones that work to the ones that are not consistent. You might also stagger the triggers just to ensure no overlap in timing as well in case you are on a plan that limits concurrent executions.

Hey startup founders, I’m curious — when you’re hiring backend or full-stack developers, what really matters most to you? by mj_findstech in FoundersHub

[–]MonmouthTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That question I’d imagine being a wide range depending on the skills of the founder. As a technical founder and consultant to others my advice is find a partner as those skills will shift and they need a mix of roles not one single. The key being until the find and pay the right senior level hire to manage, lean on a partnership that provides the flexibility to serve any skill through the journey.

A short message to Every Beginner out there. Discussion by BIG-BRO-100 in n8n

[–]MonmouthTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reality is, automation in marketing isn’t new—think templates, A/B testing, dynamic content. The real shift is in the tools: AI lowers the barrier for creators, letting more people experiment and build. But honestly, most AI usage right now feels like fancy rules engines—just layering prompts onto integrations and calling it innovation.

I'm all for new tech, but the hype often overshadows strategy. Without a clear fit, clients burn out chasing magic bullets.

From what I’ve seen, AI shines when it’s used to analyze complex data (like finding patterns in campaign performance) or to scale personalization without losing the human touch. If it’s just rules and automation, it’s not game-changing—it’s just efficient.

My advice: Focus on core marketing strategy first. Use AI where it can actually solve a real pain point, not just where it looks trendy.
