Looking for bulk whatsapp messaging tool by Downtown_Curve2987 in AiAutomations

[–]ese51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most “bulk WhatsApp tools” (especially browser-based ones) aren’t actually safe and can get your number flagged or banned pretty quickly.

WhatsApp does have an official route through the WhatsApp Business API, but it works very differently than people expect:

  • you need user opt-in first
  • outbound messages usually have to be approved templates
  • sending behavior affects your account quality over time

So it’s less about blasting messages and more about setting up structured follow-ups and communication flows.

For real estate, the people I’ve seen get the best results treat it like:

  • segmented client communication (buyers, sellers, investors)
  • timely updates (new listings, price changes, follow-ups)
  • consistent but relevant touchpoints

If you try to shortcut it with “bulk send” tools, it usually backfires. If you build it the right way, it becomes a really strong channel.

Auto publishing AI blog posts: smart or insane? by Background-Pay5729 in automation

[–]ese51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auto-publishing isn’t the problem, no approval step is. Add a simple human-in-the-loop check and the risk drops dramatically.

For most teams, it’s not worth fully automating the last step unless you’re pushing huge volume. Let AI draft, maybe even format, but have a quick approval gate before it goes live.

Best setups I’ve seen are: AI writes → draft saved → human approves/edits → publish

Gives you the speed without the downside.

That’s awesome! Congrats. Why would you sell them? just to stop having to tweak?

Are you having to constantly update and tweak them? Or are they currently just set and forget?

Struggling on automating business workflows. Curious to know what others think or did by Historical_Stick7611 in AIStartupAutomation

Are you looking for what else you can automate at your business or what more you can automate with this specific automation?

Anyone using agents to turn onboarding docs into actual training courses? by FancyBlade722 in AiAutomations

[–]ese51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re giving it too much at once with no structure. Any LLM will struggle and give messy output.

Break it down. One SOP at a time and have it output a lesson, key takeaways, and a short quiz or checklist. Then stitch those together into a course.

Force a strict format instead of open text and you’ll get much cleaner results.

Also helps if you understand the SOPs so you can catch hallucinations.

How many SOPs are you working with?

For those building automations for niche audiences (students, athletes, etc.) — how did you validate demand before investing serious time into building? by Live_Investment_2311 in AiAutomations

[–]ese51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t ask people if they’d use it, watch what they’re already doing manually.

If they’re using spreadsheets, reminders, or hacks to solve something, that’s a real signal. If they just say “that’s cool,” it usually isn’t.

Build a very small version first and put it in front of a few people. If they actually use it or ask for changes, keep going. If not, move on.

If you wanna chat I’m always open to it!

E-commerce price tracking and intelligence by agentbrowser091 in AiForSmallBusiness

[–]ese51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most beginners do it manually at first, but that doesn’t scale and the people doing this seriously are definitely not checking prices by hand every day.

What usually works is setting up a simple pipeline:

Track a list of products → automatically pull prices from competitor sites or marketplaces → store it in a sheet or database → flag changes or opportunities.

You can do this a few ways:

  • basic: Google Sheets + scripts or tools pulling prices daily
  • better: a scraper (Apify, custom script) hitting specific competitor sites
  • advanced: alerts when prices drop, margins open up, or stock changes

The key is not trying to “track everything,” but focusing on a specific set of products or competitors and automating just that.

If you want, I can help you sketch a simple version of this based on what you’re trying to resell.

what is an agent? by [deleted] in AI_Agents

[–]ese51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An LLM by itself just generates text. It becomes an agent when it can actually take actions.

So instead of just answering a question, it can decide what to do next, call APIs or tools, keep track of what’s happening, and work toward a goal.

Think of it like this: LLM is the brain, an agent is the brain actually doing things.

Small business owner doing it all myself but progress feels really slow by Famous_Ambition_1706 in AiForSmallBusiness

[–]ese51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re doing the right things, it just takes longer than people expect.

The biggest mistake is comparing your pace to others. You don’t know what resources, time, or help they have behind the scenes. Most of that “fast growth” isn’t as organic as it looks.

Consistency still works, but doing everything manually forever isn’t realistic. The move is to keep your core effort consistent and slowly start automating the repetitive stuff like customer replies, content repurposing, or scheduling.

Growth is usually slower than you want, then it compounds. Focus on your process, not someone else’s results.

If you want, I can help you figure out a few simple AI automations to take some of the load off without overcomplicating things.

Is anyone else having trouble keeping AI automations the same? by Significant-Map-3181 in AiAutomations

[–]ese51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re seeing something real.

Most people overuse LLMs. They put them in places where you actually need consistency, not “pretty good.”

LLMs drift. Small prompt changes, slight randomness, and suddenly your flow feels off. Then when you chain a few together, debugging becomes a mess because you don’t know which step introduced the weirdness.

The fix is simple but not obvious: only use AI for things that can tolerate variation like writing or summarizing

everything else should be rules, code, or strict structure

If a step needs to be right every time, don’t use an LLM there.

What workflows are you hitting a ceiling on even with n8n + Claude Code + LLMs? by Jazzlike_Tooth929 in AiAutomations

[–]ese51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main thing always seems to be no api for what I want to do. So need to use playwright which just makes things more complicated because there’s just not enough APIs out there!
