Day 93 – Nocode Automation Tools

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
  • LinkedIn
  • Facebook
  • Instagram

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
