In this session, Kevin N & I dove deep into practical strategies for building AI-powered automation workflows, focusing on self-hosted PBX phone systems and integrating AI agents into development environments like VS Code. We discussed the challenges and opportunities of recording and transcribing phone calls, leveraging open-source tools, and ensuring privacy and compliance. The call included a hands-on walkthrough of configuring VS Code for AI-assisted coding, sharing extension setups, and optimizing the workspace for productivity. We also explored the benefits of community-driven learning, sharing resources, and supporting each other’s technical journeys. The conversation wrapped up with advice on content creation strategies, monetization ideas, and the importance of building systems that save time and drive business value. Members are encouraged to join future sessions, invite like-minded peers, and actively participate as we continue to grow this collaborative community.

I'm letting the claude extension for chrome build it in the background for me while I pump out some content lol. @Kevin N suggested it, so credits to him! Excited to get that going as well. Going to be more of a chill environment for all my fellow AI Pioneers. Will drop an update tomorrow on this!

Welcome. This is the starting point for learning how to actually use AI and automation in real-world scenarios without overcomplicating it. 🛑 Start by watching the quick video attached It’ll show you how to navigate the community and find workflows, templates, prompts, and strategy without getting lost. 🎯 What This Community Is For The goal here is simple: - Learn how AI automation actually works - See how workflows are built and used in practice - Apply AI to content, operations, and business systems - Move from guessing to data-driven execution You do not need a technical background to get value here. 📂 How to Use the Community - Browse the Classroom for workflows, guides, and breakdowns - Use the search bar to quickly find what you need - For templates and downloads, use Skool on desktop 💬 Introduce Yourself Drop a comment below and let me know: - What you’re working on - Your experience level with AI - What workflows or AI agents you want to see next I use community feedback to decide what I build and share next. 🌐 Follow & Connect If you want to see how I apply this stuff daily, here’s where I’m most active: 🌍 Website https://ccstrategic.io/ 📺 YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@charlieautomates 📸 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/charlieautomates/ 💼 LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlieautomates/

After spending an hour on figuring out how to move files via n8n I found out via patch notes that n8n removed delete node, so had to use write node to copy content to different directory then use execute command to delete original files. But here's the kicker.... N8n disables execute command nodes by default so you need to manually enable it, but I did it!!!! (I'm not a developer nor a programmer but I'm learning)
