Yesterday took a good step forward on a stealth AI project I’ve been involved with since January. It’s operating in a crowded market, but we’ve recently identified a better way to pivot. Will be able to announce it soon, once final alpha tests have been done.
Also this week we have potentially found a new addition to our management team – a proven AI lead generation specialist. But more on that another time.
Today I began taking another look at N8N, I’d already tried a first time and was impressed. I was able to quickly create a workflow that read a webpage, summarised it, and then pumped it to Slack as a message.
Honestly, these automation tools WILL be part of every single company going forward. They will replace a lot of internal software platforms.
My first aim is to go from a WordPress post to publish on:
- X
There is already a template setup, which is what’s so powerful about this N8N stuff – most of what you want to automate has already been done.

- Installing N8N with Docker is super straightforward
- Look at the automation templates: https://n8n.io/workflows/
- For local use it’s super easy to create a webhook tunnel
Today’s video analysis is of the guy who made Windsurf – which I haven’t used yet, but am going to give a proper try. Might prefer it to Cursor!
Main takeaway is:
- Sales team combines AE and forward deployed technicals
In other news, this is a real time object identification locally that I want to try out
