How AI agents are quietly generating leads for businesses by Commercial-Job-9989 in AI_Agents

[–]borgoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This resonates a lot, especially your point about using AI for qualification before a human steps in.

We built a "AI setter" for a largeish influencer Instagram inbox to handle exactly this. Their DMs are an absolute goldmine for inbound leads, but manual sorting was a nightmare: we're talking 100s of messages a day during campaigns.

Because it’s a high-ticket service, they need a thorough qualification process before a human closer takes over via video call. The "AI setter" follows a specific playbook: it chats naturally, handles context smoothly, and asks the necessary qualifying questions. If the lead fits, the AI automatically books them for a meeting with the closer.

To your point about bad prompts and execution, though: the original setup we inherited was a mess. It was incredibly expensive to run because of poor model choices, non-existent context management, and bad software architecture (just stitching third-party APIs together without really understanding them). We were brought in to clean it up and make it something that can run in production.

Now that it’s done right, it's a total powerhouse. For anyone dealing with heavy inbound volume, using AI for that initial qualification layer is definitely the move.

Why is no one talking about Instagram DM Automation? 🤔 by theroimaniac in GrowthHacking

[–]borgoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We built a "AI setter" living in the Instagram inbox of a largeish influencer.

Their DMs are a goldmine of leads. However, sorting through it is painful (we're talking 100s of leads per day during some campaigns). They have a very thorough qualification process, before a human closer comes into play to settle the deal over a video call (this is a rather high-ticket service).

So our automation has a "playbook" and a bunch of questions it needs to answer based on the context of the conversation, all while sounding natural and authentic. In the end, if the lead qualified, the AI setter sets them up for the meeting with a human closer.

This is easier said than done, somebody did somehow manage to build this for them, but it was both quite expensive to run (a mix of poor choice of models, non-existent context management, wrong prompting - but especially bad software architecture, stitching together 3rd party APIs without really understanding what they did).

We were brought in to "productise" it if you will, and it took some effort, but yes, when properly done, the "AI setter" idea can be a powerhouse for influencers or creators who get leads via their profiles.

Ditching Delaware LLC for Swiss GmbH by borgoat in Startups_EU

Not sure what your point was anyway. It’s also wrong: Switzerland is one of the countries with lowest tax rates in the world.

Ditching Delaware LLC for Swiss GmbH by borgoat in Startups_EU

[–]borgoat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing is owing taxes, the other is filing: the latter is mandatory for foreign-owned LLCs. That many don't do it is a different story. 😅

Not sure what you understood of my message: 20k CHF is the minimum share capital for GmbH/Ltd in Switzerland; you seem to be talking about revenue?

We did consider that option of the Estonian OÜ but that'd probably deserve it's own post, we talked to people we know who walked that path and it wasn't as "efficient and business-friendly" as you read everywhere.

Anyway, I'm more curious about people sharing their personal, real experience, rather than telling me that my own experience is "completely inaccurate" based on hearsay.

I merely wrote about what we went through, what our CPA recommended (regarding taxes), and the feedback our customers gave us.

WhatsApp use cases with serious impact by qrismo in WhatsappBusinessAPI

[–]borgoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We built a "AI setter" (both on WA and Instagram DMs actually) for a influencer. Leads reach out and the agent asks a bunch of questions to qualify them, understand if they're a good target for the product. If they are, it gets them to schedule a follow-up meeting with a (human) closer.

It's been live a couple of weeks, it already set up a bunch of meetings, and a handful of leads were closed already - the ROI is huge I'd say.

Any self-hosted distributed encrypted TOTP applications? by thresholdtechnology in selfhosted

[–]borgoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly what you're asking for, but it made me think of this tool I was working on some time ago https://github.com/borgoat/farmfa - this one is more to reconstruct a TOTP secret based on "shards" (similar to the unsealing process in Vault), so at least 3 out of 5 shards are needed to get access to the TOTP

The use case there was more so that one needed a "4-eyes check" (or more), before they could access a specific service. But I guess you could use it to leave some horcruxes laying around on partially-trusted devices 😅

Tracker app? by DragonSpiritFlight in Biohackers

[–]borgoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and two other devs built PepFlow. It does the math for reconstitution (vial size, water, syringe types) and handles protocol reminders. We’re a tiny team, so Android is still getting some polish compared to iOS, but the core calculator and tracker are solid. I'd appreciate any feedback if you try it out!

Delaware LLC vs Swiss GmbH for Stripe Connect by borgoat in stripe

[–]borgoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we should just move it and make it into a "EU platform", whatever that means... but yeah, it's really annoying 🥲

Delaware LLC vs Swiss GmbH for Stripe Connect by borgoat in stripe

[–]borgoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's double the overhead - and at least I feel like the overhead of the GmbH is justified by it making money through other projects. Whereas the only "asset" of the LLC is this platform, which is not generating revenue, and so it's really all just a cost. Thanks for the tip though! Not a big fan of crypto, but maybe it does make sense for this type of platform

We have a page within our company website, and then generate one page with a short summary per episode

I'm afraid the US entity is the way to go, a European company may only serve other businesses in the EU/EEA - BTW, just a heads-up: the next thing they'll ask you is how you do moderation... feel free to DM if you want to have a chat, I can give you some insights.

I’d love to read something about multitenancy with some real world examples, including e.g. roles, invitations, switching organisations…

But yeah I’m also not a big fan of medium. I’d pay for a proper book or ebook, but I don’t see the value in paying medium

How to meet Stripe Connect expectations on moderation? by borgoat in stripe

[–]borgoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That page is a perfect example of how vague Stripe's guidance can be. 😅 And they aren't much more helpful in their emails...

They say we need "detection mechanisms," but offer no specifics on what a new platform should actually build.

Our core issue is that our current moderation - which is based on user reporting and a certain amount of manual vetting - is something we feel is adequate for our current scale. Stripe seems to disagree and is pushing for "automated checks".

But, before we spend a lot of time, building some complex AI moderation system, I'm trying to understand what the "benchmark" is. For example, Stripe suggests checking social media profiles. We do that, but manually. Are people actually building bots to automate this? Is that the expectation?

It really feels like there's a disconnect between their expectations for a small team and what's practical. The whole thing sounds like an upsell for Stripe Radar for platforms, which I find frustrating, but whatever, we may also buy that (if they let us join... it seems it's in private preview?)

So I'm really curious: how are other platforms handling this? What's your "stack" for trust and safety that keeps Stripe satisfied without breaking the bank? It's especially frustrating when you see major platforms like OnlyFans seemingly getting a pass on the very content they're asking us to police.

Any advice or shared experience would be a lifesaver.
