Looking for a reliable partner 😃
We’ve recently launched our AI agency and demand has taken off faster than expected. With a wide range of active projects, we’re at the point where we can’t keep up on our own and are looking for a reliable partner to collaborate with. The ideal partner: - Strong English communication skills - Access to a small team (2–3 people) to support delivery - Experienced in n8n - A seasoned automation specialist who can not only execute but also contribute valuable ideas to streamline workflows and add long-term value We've recently been mainly working on voice and data scraping bots for our clients but have a wide range of different tasks anyone can automate. We would need to see some of your recent work. If this sounds like you, we’d love to connect. We’re looking for a long-term partner who’s interested in consistent, ongoing work and growing with us. Please feel free to reach out!

@Tayyab Ijaz done
Do you actually own the AI you build for clients?
I’ve seen a lot of AI founders get tripped up by this exact scenario: you use a free online template (like an N8N workflow) as a base to build a custom agent for a client, but when the project is done, who legally owns the final product? The default legal answer is a complete mess that could prevent you from reusing your own custom work on future projects. Most standard contracts don't address this, but there's a straightforward way to structure your client agreement that clearly defines IP ownership, protecting your core assets while giving the client exactly what they paid for. I recorded a full deep-dive on this specific trap and other essential contract blindspots for AI founders (like contractor IP and data privacy) to help you all avoid it. Hope you find it valuable—let me know your thoughts in the comments! -- Attorney Tatyana

@Thane Hardy great points! i think you could also own the workflow and offer to transfer it if they wish to host it themselves :) especially if the client is not tech savvy
What do you sell, when you sell AI solutions?
For those of you who sell AI solutions/automations/workflows, how do you sell them? What I mean by that is, do you sell the .json file, do you work with their developer and set up a webhook, do you install stuff to their server, do you just build a workflow and run it on your own server, etc...? I've been watching countless videos and reading lots of material, which has been awesome. But in everything I've found, there's no actual content about what actually gets transferred upon sale? Does anyone know of some videos on this particular topic?

interested in hearing what ppl have to say - i think the best would be to build a workflow and run it on your own server

Made $67/hour at McDonald's in college. Made $0/hour for 6 months here. - Almost quit in month 5 when client said my work was "unusable" - Wife questioned my sanity daily - Imposter syndrome hit different at 3 AM debugging webhooks WHAT ACTUALLY WORKED: - Picking one thing (document processing) - Building boring solutions that work - Charging for value, not time - Saying no to complex requests - Using reliable tools (stop trying to save $50/month) Currently building toward $18k/month. Not there yet, but the path is clear now.
