Is there anyone from this group that’s also in the AIS+ group? I’m trying to get some real feedback, but the admins have flagged and deleted my other posts asking for the same. I have been burned by several groups and their big claims, but I’m hoping to find the right group to help me move my business forward. Thanks in advance for any insights you might have 🙏🏽🤖

I'm 21, dead broke, and completely lost in this AI era — and I need honest help. 🙏 Everywhere I look, people are building systems, earning online, creating leverage with AI. And here I am... overthinking every single step, overwhelmed before I even begin. No budget for tools. No budget for courses. No clear idea where to start. Every time I try to learn — AI automation, startups, entrepreneurship — I get hit with so much information that I just freeze. Mentally drained. Every. Single. Day. I'm not lazy. I genuinely want to build something real. I want systems that work FOR me. I want to solve problems and create value. But I can't even pick a starting point without second-guessing myself into paralysis. I've looked at AI automation, content creation, freelancing. I understand just enough to know I don't know enough — and that fear keeps me stuck. So I'm asking the people who've actually walked this path 👇 If you were 21, zero budget, zero experience, and 1 hour a day — what's the FIRST thing you'd do? Not a roadmap. Not a course recommendation. Just the first real door you'd walk through. Be specific. Be honest. I can handle it. 🎯 I'm reading every single reply.

If you've ever asked yourself that question, this is for you. In the past 6 months we've gone from Make, n8n, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, Antigravity to Claude. That's not one tool, or even two. It's 7 tools in 6 months. Also think about how many new features Claude dropped in March alone. Or OpenClaw? So how can you keep up as a beginner when everyone is dropping new features at breakneck speed? Keep it simple and learn the basics. Understanding how HTTP works will transfer to Python when you need the requests package. What about removing duplicates? If you can remove duplicates in Make, doing it with a JS script won't be much harder. And if I were to give advice to my younger self, I would tell him to start with n8n or Make. It's visual and each node is like a container. Having AI help you with the nodes speeds up the learning. Once my younger self felt confident, I would tell him to start using Claude to code. With one condition: read over the code. Try to understand it. At times, copy it by hand to build a deeper understanding. That way, over time, he would get good at the craft. And before you ask where to go or what to watch, keep it simple. Watch any video. It does not matter. I've watched bad tutorials and still walked away with something. The idea is to immerse yourself in it. If you have zero knowledge, any knowledge will help you

I just finished building something I genuinely think is the most complete LinkedIn automation system available as an n8n bundle right now. Not a scraper. Not a connect bot. The full thing. 10 workflows working together as one coordinated agent — it wakes up at 7am, logs into LinkedIn once, stores the session, and from that point your account is running on autopilot for the rest of the day. Here is what it actually does: It finds your 2nd-degree target prospects, visits their profiles the day before connecting so LinkedIn sees human behaviour, then sends a personalised connection request with a custom note. When someone accepts, it detects that automatically and enrolls them into a 4-step DM sequence — opener on day 1, a value message on day 4, a case study angle on day 10, and a soft close with your Calendly link on day 18. Every single message is written in real time by Claude AI based on that person's actual headline and context. Meanwhile it is reading your inbox every few hours, classifying every reply as HOT, WARM, COLD or BOOKING READY, drafting a contextual response and sending it. Hot leads get escalated to a separate booking agent that writes a personalised Calendly DM and sends it automatically. On top of that it publishes LinkedIn content 3 times a week — Claude writes the post in your voice, Playwright posts it without you touching anything. And every Sunday it withdraws pending invites older than 14 days so you never hit LinkedIn's 500-invite cap. The whole thing is coordinated by a master orchestrator that checks your daily quota and ramp schedule every 30 minutes and decides what runs, when, in what order. Nothing fires without permission. Telegram notifies you at every meaningful event. This is not a template. This is a fully wired production system — 10 importable n8n workflow JSONs, a complete Google Sheets CRM schema, Dockerfile for Playwright, and a setup README that walks you through every environment variable and the exact import order. Built on n8n + Playwright + Claude API + Google Sheets. White-label ready — swap the credentials and you have a new instance for a new client.

Built Newsletter Automation 1. Pretty fast build as compared to building via n8n 2. So much easier to make edits 3. CC'd to my partner (proud moment ;)) 4. Next step - production deployment Looking forward to completing Day 2. Thanks Nate for putting this together!
