Someone shared news about Klarna firing 700 employees for AI, then hiring humans again after a $40 billion valuation crash, with the caption "AI is going to replace humans." Here's why this story reveals a critical business mistake. The surface narrative: This looks like proof that AI can't actually replace humans, and companies are learning this the hard way through failed implementations and financial losses. My analysis: AI can automate a workflow entirely - it just needs a resilient humanized workflow before robots get introduced. This is the mistake major companies are making. The fundamental error: AI should not solve new problems during scale. It should only automate what's already working with humans. Klarna likely had unsolved constraints in their workflow, hoping AI could solve it for them. The reality check: AI cannot self-organize like humans can during times of stress... yet. This is why the human-first, AI-second approach is crucial for successful implementation. The strategic lesson: Companies that use AI to fix broken processes will fail. Companies that use AI to accelerate proven human processes will dominate. Klarna's mistake is now everyone else's opportunity to learn. Hope you found this valuable! :)

For a deeper discussion on web scraping/crawling, let's chat here. In this video, I walk through how to use n8n and Firecrawl to go beyond basic web scraping. You'll learn how to build an intelligent website extractor that searches multiple pages and extracts relevant information based on your custom prompt.

#Introduction I'm Rodrigo, a programmer with over 20 years of experience based in Texas, USA. After completing my AI & Machine Learning Masters, I launched an AI Agency focused on AI Agents and Automation, and for the last 6 months specifically focused on n8n for businesses generating $1M+ annually. #Key Insights Ideal Clients: Companies with 10+ employees earning $5-10M yearly. You'll work directly with owners (shorter sales cycles) and find better opportunities to improve processes. Best Acquisition Channel: LinkedIn - easily identify decision-makers, engage with their content, then connect with a friendly (non-sales) message. Share valuable content before suggesting demos. Sales Approach: Offer a Proof of Concept (POC) during meetings to demonstrate practical solutions to specific problems. Product Focus: I excel in just three revenue-generating solutions (marketing, sales, customer service), all Ready-to-Deploy. This allows for faster implementation and unified improvements. Pricing Model: Monthly fees outperform one-time setup fees. They provide continuity, prevent "starting from zero" each month, and eliminate friction around maintenance charges. #Clients to Avoid: - Companies under $1M revenue (require foundational work) - Businesses with undefined processes - Those expecting AI to solve cash flow problems - Clients without existing, functioning processes #Operational Tips: - Automate your internal processes - Keep onboarding and support initially manual to better understand clients - Invest in help desk software (I use the open-source solution from https://frappe.io/helpdesk) - Implement professional workflow monitoring (I use n8ops from https://www.n8ops.com) which gives me unified visibility across all client workflows. This has been transformative for proactive maintenance and quick troubleshooting, dramatically reducing downtime and improving client satisfaction. - Focus on rapid value creation (30% of my new clients come from referrals)
