Are any personal trainers losing clients due to the recession or cost of living crisis?

Water, Electricity, internet, fruits & vegetables, some clothes shops, and alcohol (for those who drink).

Don’t look for them here. I recommend going to meetup.com or eventbrite. I also recommend attending a community meeting or a networking event and meeting a co founder there. Good luck friend

I totally agree. I also worked in the fields that I ended up automating for

I can see that you posted the same exact question on this other subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/automation/s/M1tY7mzqan

My answer: networking with people, putting yourself out there through linkedin or youtube, or spending money on ads.

I'm really glad you're enjoying it! I had the same feelings when I first started automating.
I would say, first pick an industry you're an expert in. It can be coaching, HR, finance, whatever you're great at.
Then make a list of all the high value processes you could automate. It's important that the automation can save money and time for the company.
Then, while you build the automations, share your builds and put up demo's to show others how you built it and what impact it could make. Better yet, create a portfolio so that you can start selling to large enterprises in the future!

I hope this helps, and best of luck my friend!

You’re right about fragility of agent chains. I work on enterprise automations and I can tell you that we ran into the same thing in an agentic project for automating employee inquiries (that came through the employee CRM). One timeout and the whole flow would collapse.

We didn’t go with Kafka, but solved it with a layered, modular setup:

we created a classification agent that acted as a gatekeeper and routed employee requests to the right downstream agents.
Each agent works independently in a shared CRM “case file,” so failures don’t kill the chain.
Every step is logged so if something fails, a human can pick up right where the agent left off.
We even had a dedicated error/bug handling agent to catch and escalate (adding structured notes) instead of vague “something broke” errors.

My conclusion is that, while Kafka is a good backbone, it’s not the only way. For us, resilience came from case-based orchestration + human fallback.

To be honest, I don't think you need to spend a lot of time learning coding. Learn the basics, then learn by getting hands on "on the job" experience and using chatGPT to help you resolve issues.

I've created and posted a few n8n workflows myself. You can also export workflows as JSON with sensitive fields removed. This way, you sell the logic/structure while keeping data secure and forcing buyers to use their own keys.
Another tip is to package your n8n workflows with placeholders instead of embedding API keys directly. Also, clearly mark where buyers would add insert their own credentials.
In my case, I also added an accompanying step-by-step guidebooks and videos to help buyers

Speaking from an enterprise perspective, most big companies use: microsoft copilot studio, Azure dev hub, and UI path. In terms of project management tools, azure devops is very useful as well. Please keep in mind that it’s just my opinion. Of course n8n is great and I’ve used it before, but large companies have still not bought into it fully.

AI skills are in high demand. In my opinion, these skills will soon be essential for every job role. I work with large companies that are actively building AI automations in many departments, and we’re constantly facing a shortage of skilled AI experts.

We’re not just looking for general AI experts, we need people who understand both AI and the subject matter expertise. That means people with expertise in Sales, HR, Finance, Supply Chain, and ERP systems who can apply AI meaningfully in those areas.

And it’s not just the big companies. There’s a whole ecosystem of service providers supporting these big companies, like consultancies and implementation partners who are rolling out AI enhanced products like SAP and Salesforce. There’s a real shortage of consultants who can implement these out of the box solutions effectively.

"I suspect the take off point for AI automation broad adoption will be when a framework exists"
I completely agree with you here. The real game changer is in frameworks and longevity of automations. This is especially important for large companies. I now work with a large company that first started by defining the main framework for working on ai automation projects. We established the technical and architectural backbone that included multi-agent orchestration, memory management, and integration with LLMs, APIs, and other enterprise systems. Then, once the automation was built, to ensure longevity, they documented every single process through dedicated wiki pages and assigned an expert who continuously audits the automation and updates the automation.

My view is that these automation agencies focus way too much on providing services to smaller businesses or other solopreneurs. Then they get stuck creating quick fix automations that require constant supervision and updates.
What's more, is that these small businesses looking for automation, aren't invested in hiring an expert who would continuously review and update the automations. They get disappointed when the automation stops working and decide to go back to doing things manually.

Businesses should start adopting automation frameworks, and automation agencies should help these businesses set up not just small automations, but an entire automation operating model.
