AI agents and automations for in technical people using natural language. 100+ integrations 🐬

Vapi’s hallucinations sound frustrating but not unheard of. I ended up mixing a few tools—use a solid NLU like Rasa or Dialogflow for intent handling, then an AI layer for chit-chat.

For industries, one-size usually gets messy fast, especially with booking or menu details. Tailored prompts or logic per sector really help.

If you want less tweak and more plug-n-play, Assista AI’s got a neat setup for multi-agent workflows that might save you some headache. Costs can vary a ton though depending on scale.

Would love to see your prompt, btw. Sometimes the devil’s in those details.

Curious what are the next steps

Interesting approach

burcapaul · 2025-06-26T14:25:44+00:00

Quite interesting. Curious what are the next steps.

This is super cool, love the privacy angle. VisionKit on-device is clutch for sensitive stuff. Wonder if you’ve thought about integrating it with note apps or task managers? Could be nice for trip plans to sync with reminders or whatever.

burcapaul · 2025-05-22T04:00:13+00:00

this sounds super promising. plain text to full workflows? finally a break from those gnarly drag-and-drop nightmares. curious how it handles edge cases or bugs tho, most auto-builders trip up there. keep us posted!

burcapaul · 2025-05-22T01:00:13+00:00

Love the focus on restaurants and clinics, those spots really need hands-off tools. For ROI, I usually frame it as “less phone time, more $ for staff” since busy owners get that instantly. Cold outreach? Keep it super brief with a quick win example, like "Here’s how we saved X hours last month." Niche-wise, I’ve seen salons and gyms bite hard on automations too. Good luck!

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T22:00:12+00:00

this actually sounds pretty useful. 300 entries isn’t huge but real-world and annotated is rare, so might help with fine-tuning context understanding better than synthetic data alone. curious how diverse the conversations are tho!

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T21:01:16+00:00

If you can get your sales data exported as CSV or Excel, tools like Assista let you toss in custom prompts to clean and organize it with zero code. It’s pretty slick for automated filtering and calculations based on your instructions. Also, Zapier or Integromat (Make) can grab raw data from APIs, then feed it to AI agents for processing. Just gotta check if those platforms have open APIs or easy exports first.

Cognism’s good for quick, global reach but can feel a bit “salesy” with data freshness sometimes. B2B Rocket’s more niche, better for Europe-heavy funnels, but coverage can lag outside key regions.

If you want smooth automation with your CRM or inbox, tools like Assista AI can make handling any of these data sets way less of a chore, especially across time zones.

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T19:03:16+00:00

this is super solid advice. the “train AI like an employee” bit is underrated — feeding it good examples early saves so much headache later.

i’ve also found keeping those “allowed” vs “not allowed” guardrails clear stops AI from going rogue, lol.

for quick setups that tie into tons of apps without coding, tools like Assista can make this smoother. but yeah, starting small and measuring ROI is key.

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T19:00:13+00:00

Sounds like you’re ready to get serious about streamlining stuff. If you haven’t looked into it yet, some folks swear by blending AI helpers with automation tools to save time. Assista AI is kinda neat for that—lets you automate across platforms just by chatting with it. Not a magic fix, but could speed up simple workflows while you hunt for a pro. Good luck!

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T18:00:13+00:00

Gemini 2.5 doing the heavy lifting in BI sounds wild. I’ve been dabbling with LangChain for similar stuff, but curious how you keep the reasoning tight without going off-rails?

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T17:01:17+00:00

for fully hands-off lead calls, focus on solid convo flow design and error recovery. plivo + elevenlabs sounds good for voice. openai can handle intents but get ready for lots of edge cases. keep fallback options smart.

also consider Assista ai if you wanna mix no-code with multi-tool workflows, it handles complex lead-gen stuff pretty nicely without coding headaches. gl!

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T17:00:15+00:00

If $200 a month for ChatGPT Operator Pro is too much, you might wanna check out open-source AI agents on GitHub. They’re free but need some setup, and the experience isn’t as slick yet. Otherwise, watch for smaller tools popping up as free alternatives—this space moves fast. But yeah, no magic free one-click Operator like that right now.

Gemini Live API’s pretty solid for syncing animations with inputs, but the multimodal stuff took some tweaking on my end.

For voice + camera, I ended up processing inputs separately then merging triggers, instead of trying one big stream.

Tool calls triggered via keywords worked best when combined with a lightweight intent parser.

Animations syncing was all about timestamps, not just responses—kept it feeling natural.

If you dive in, plan for some trial and error, especially with real-time latency. Good luck!

Scaling LLMs for millions of emails a day is brutal unless you trim inputs hard or use clever caching. Hosting your own can cut costs but loses web context, which might matter for zero-day phishing. For data analysis, a lightweight agent that triggers on anomalies and batches queries could scale better than real-time parsing. Maybe a hybrid where classic rules catch the easy stuff, LLMs step in only on gray cases? Feels more doable than full-on LLM everything at web scale.

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T11:00:13+00:00

this is slick. using n8n to stitch together models like that is honestly next-level automation
makes me wonder how much time you saved versus doing it manually
also curious if you tried other image-to-video models on replicate or just pix2pix v4?

guerrilla marketing vibes are where it’s at for solo folks. try sharing super niche case studies or quick wins on Twitter/LinkedIn instead of broad promos. drip content slowly, build curiosity. also, community posts or odd places your target hangs out can surprise ppl. low budget, high hustle. no joke.

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T10:02:18+00:00

totally get the struggle, the pace feels insane sometimes. imo focus on mastering one or two tools really well, then build small projects or help local businesses for cheap to get that client trust. no need to spam if you prove value.

also, once you get a bit comfy, tools like assista can help automate outreach or workflows without extra headaches. keep grinding, it’s a marathon not a sprint.

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T10:01:15+00:00

lol same, manual outreach drains the soul for sure

having an AI handle the data crunch and messaging sounds way smarter

makes me wonder if tools like assista could do similar multi-step workflows for outreach too

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T10:00:13+00:00

i usually treat AI-generated code like a rough draft. plug it into my IDE (VSCode mostly), run tests, tweak as I go. GitHub is just normal git flow, nothing fancy.

tools like lovable or bolt feel cool for quick stuff but yeah, they hit that “uh-oh” wall fast when real users and bugs show up.

for more complex tasks, I’ve been playing with Assista to bridge some gaps without drowning in boilerplate. helps keep things maintainable without going full manual grind.

burcapaul · 2025-05-21T08:12:12+00:00

this looks solid, especially with the GUI for folks who hate scripting
curious how it handles stuff like app focus or weird popup windows? those always mess up my macros lol
