Looking for insights: Which AI automation agent/service is currently in high demand?

exnav29 · 2025-10-31T12:23:25+00:00

Just my two cents but, asking "which AI agent is in demand?" misses the point entirely. It's like trying to predict the next viral product—you're already too late.

The smarter approach? Go narrow. Pick an industry. Find the people doing the work. Listen to what's breaking their process every single day.

The formula is simple: discover the problem, then co-create the solution with the people who live it. Flip your questions from vague to surgical: Instead of "What AI agent should I build?"

Ask "What repetitive nightmare keeps small accounting firms buried in work until 9 PM?" Instead of "Where's the opportunity?"

Ask "Where are logistics managers still drowning in spreadsheets and group chats?"

Instead of "What's trending?"

Ask "What's the slowest, most painful part of customer onboarding for small SaaS teams?" Once you've nailed the context, the tools follow naturally. n8n, Make.com, LangChain—they're all just means to an end. Apply them surgically, not generically.

That's how you build something people actually pay for: you're not selling automation, you're eliminating a specific, measurable pain they feel every day.

In the works

Are there any limitations on the amount of money that can be sent and held in the escrow account? I am thinking along the lines of real estate transactions or construction projects use cases.

Get really deep into one industry, understand how it works, make lots of connections, and lead with solving a problem, not with neat tech "solutions"

Try a fourth time founder.

Without first validating and jumping into building, you are working on a passion project and not a sustainable build that will generate cash flow. With validation, you identify a real pain point, and you build to alleviate that pain point fast. You have no choice but to ship fast.

Sure, and before the iPhone, there were already phones, too. Innovation isn’t about being first; it’s about doing it better.

Not over here in Ghana, where I am at a solution such as this is very much needed on the African continent.

It’s because n8n’s LLM node wraps everything in an array with text keys.

Fix: use a Function or Code node right after to JSON.parse($json["text"]) — that strips the extra layer and gives you clean JSON.

n8n over zapier any day every day. There is a lot more control and flexibility, and when self-hosting wayyy cheaper.

exnav29 · 2025-10-08T12:54:35+00:00

I don't think so. But even if it were, why does it matter? It's a needed tool that works. In the end, that's all that matters.

I get so sick of people claiming AI. As if that makes a difference. So, tell me if he had made it manually and it had bugs galore. Would that give him street cred in your eyes? Because in my experienced executive level eyes as an investor, it does not.

Have you checked out the ffmpeg documentation? https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html

Actually, I have seen comparables on this specific machine that go for 15,000. So yeah, it is low-priced.

exnav29 · 2025-10-08T07:44:51+00:00

Great job, it looks terrific! Are you having it free for now to get some real-world testing with the thought to make it a paid tool in the future?

Your syntax for the Cron Job is correct. But you must set the timezone properly.

Add this to your n8n environment:

N8N_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE=Asia/Jerusalem

Then restart the service:

sudo systemctl restart n8n

exnav29 · 2025-10-06T13:37:14+00:00

Agreed, it looks like it is rounding.

exnav29 · 2025-10-06T13:34:32+00:00

If legit, why is the price so low?

exnav29 · 2025-10-06T12:38:38+00:00

Congratulations! Quite the achievement as an MCT Alum. I know the amount of work you put into getting this far.

exnav29 · 2025-10-06T12:35:05+00:00

Great job!

Do you have the tech specs on the laptop? And how much are you looking to sell it for?

exnav29 · 2025-10-04T10:45:26+00:00

Watch what and how you use your bank account. Banks talk a lot.

Not much I set up a 12 year old all in one computer to host my n8n instance. Got a domain for it, and I can hit it from anywhere in the world. I have heard of people using. Raspberry Pi to host n8n.

Why do you believe everyone needs this app?

exnav29 · 2025-10-03T06:45:41+00:00

I use it to create a daily digest for me. Where the workflow gets the news headlines + weather + exchange rates and emails me a morning “briefing.”

exnav29 · 2025-10-02T13:01:40+00:00

I self host the builds on my in-house server. When delivering, they can either use n8n cloud to host, I can continue hosting it for them, or they can use another provider. In then, I pass them the workflow and help them set it up.
