Hey everyone, I'd love some guidance on this one. I keep seeing that lead generation is one of the easiest automations to sell, because the value is clear to any business owner: more qualified conversations. I want to start building lead gen systems for clients, but I'll be honest, I have zero experience with it so far. So I'm curious how you'd approach it if you were starting from scratch: What's the first lead gen system you'd build to learn and to show as a portfolio piece? Is it better to start with outbound (scraping, enrichment, cold email) or inbound (capturing and qualifying leads from forms, ads, or WhatsApp)? What stack or tools would you learn first, and which would you skip for now? Any videos, repos, or templates that helped you get your first one working? For those of you already selling lead gen, what does a simple first offer look like, and which niches have been the easiest to start with? Thanks in advance, I'll share what I end up building so we can learn from it together.

I have a client who wants a CRM, and I’m scoping the ground before I start building. The only clear first move I have so far is interviewing someone who lives in the current process day to day: what they do today in the CRM (or the spreadsheets standing in for one), what hurts, and what they cannot lose. From that I want to ship something that solves their case and also becomes a reusable template I can offer other clients without starting from zero every time. If you’ve built a CRM or heavily customized one, where would you start? What would you learn before writing code? Any videos, repos, stacks, or templates that actually shortened the build for you? Concrete tips welcome. Thanks.

I'd love to rewatch the part where they walked through the step-by-step process for auditing a business and spotting automation opportunities. That framework was the most useful thing I've seen here in a while and I want to study it properly instead of relying on my notes. If there's a replay link (or even just the slides), I'd really appreciate a pointer. Thanks!

Curious how people here are using Jev, or thinking about using it. If you already have it in your stack, or you are planning to add it, drop a use case below. What part of your workflow does it cover, and what changes after you add it? One idea I want to try: use Jev as a cheap decision layer in front of my agent stack. Incoming client messages and ops tasks get classified first (which client, how urgent, whether it needs a human before anything goes out). That way the heavy models only run when the decision is worth it, and risky sends stay gated. I want this thread full of real examples we can learn from and adapt to our own setups.

Solo founder of a small AI automation consultancy in Costa Rica. I build chatbots and Claude skills for three paying clients. Social media is the one area I haven't touched. Not for clients, not for myself. I want to get into it now, and I'd rather adapt something that already works than build from scratch. Two asks: 1. Where are the good social media skills? Carousels, copywriting, Reels scripts, whatever exists. Inside the community or outside it, free or paid, I'll take any pointers. 2. Is anyone here running the full thing end to end, from content creation through to automatic publishing? If you have that working, I want to see how you set it up. Thanks in advance.
