Most faceless YouTube channels don’t fail because of the algorithm. They fail because of weak retention. Common mistakes I keep seeing: Long intros (“In today’s video…”) No curiosity gap in the first 10 seconds Overused stock footage with no structure Quick fix: Your hook should create a question the viewer MUST answer. If the first 10 seconds aren’t strong, nothing else matters. If anyone here needs help improving retention for their automation channel, you can reach me directly on Telegram 👉 t.me/Ayclassicai

I built a custom integration that lets n8n's AI Workflow Builder use Claude models (Sonnet 4.5, Opus 4.5) without paying per-token API costs. It's working. And it changes everything about how I build automations now. --- 🎬 Watch the Demo (Video Above) In this video, you'll see me: - Configure the connection in n8n's settings - Select my AI model - Generate workflows with Claude — completely free No API key billing. No usage anxiety. Just pure building. --- 📖 Why I Built This When you're designing AI workflows, the real work is iteration: - Test a prompt → tweak it → test again - Add a node → see if the AI gets it - Refine → regenerate → compare results With pay-per-token billing, there's always that voice in your head: "Is this test worth it?" That friction kills creativity. I wanted to remove it completely. --- ✅ What It Looks Like Now I added a new section in n8n's Personal Settings: "AI Builder Connection" - One-click configuration - Choose your model: - Claude Sonnet 4.5 - Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Thinking) - Claude Opus 4.5 (Thinking) - Gemini 3 Pro - Connect once, build unlimited The AI Workflow Builder now feels like a creative partner, not a metered service. --- 🧠 What This Means for Building With this setup, I can: - Generate 50+ workflow variations in one session - Experiment with Opus-level reasoning for complex automations - Iterate freely without watching a billing dashboard - Actually enjoy the building process again It's the difference between "let me think if this is worth testing" and "let's just try it and see." --- 💬 Question for You I'm curious — how do you currently handle AI costs when building workflows? - Do you limit your experiments? - Use cheaper models even when you need more power? - Just accept the cost as part of the process? Drop your thoughts below 👇 --- 🚀 What Are You Building? I always love hearing what others are automating with AI: - Lead gen pipelines? - Content workflows? - Internal tools? - AI agents?

Just went through why Meta's $2+ billion acquisition of Manus AI signals a major shift in how we'll use social platforms!? ⁉️ This isn't just another chatbot, Manus creates autonomous agents that actually execute complex tasks like planning trips, creating presentations, and managing business operations. Soon, Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp will have embedded AI that doesn't just answer questions but also it gets things done. Imagine an AI that schedules your content, responds to customer messages, optimizes your ads, and generates reports while you sleep. For businesses, this means unprecedented automation. For everyday users, it's like having a personal assistant in your pocket that truly understands multi-step workflows. 🚀 The real game-changer? Meta transforming social media from communication platforms into productivity powerhouses. We're moving from the era of "AI that talks" to "AI that acts." The question isn't whether autonomous agents will reshape how we work, it's how quickly we'll adapt to a world where AI handles our routine tasks while we focus on what matters most. The future of work isn't just automated. It's agentic. Attached is slides created using Manus "N8N Automation Ideas In 2026": https://manus.im/share/file/0b9fb0f0-5006-4403-a517-9902feece48f

It can seem like there's so much to learn and such a high mountain to climb here. The one thing I've realized when it comes to not wanting to throw the towel as it seems like there's so much to learn and having this thought creep in: "can I actually do this?" ... it's to remind myself to take this one step at a time and not worry so much about how things will look like or should look like further down the road. When my mind wanders to far ahead, this is where things become stressful and overwhelming. Once I realized that, I decided to just focus on my in front of me now, learn what I need to learn now, and enjoy the process while trusting that what I'm looking to build here will look how it's supposed to. My only responsibility, while knowing my desired outcome, is just to stay present and take things as they come, as I learn something new, as I adapt in solving a challenge, and grow. That's it. Hope this helps*
