— Here's What It Does Most businesses lose 70–80% of their leads simply because no one follows up consistently. I built a solution for that. Over the past few weeks I designed and implemented a complete bulk lead management system using n8n, Google Sheets, Gmail, Tally and Slack — no expensive CRM required. Here's what the system does end to end: 📥 Lead Capture & Qualification Leads arrive from a Tally form via webhook. The system instantly normalises the data, validates emails, detects duplicates and blocks them before they enter the pipeline. 🎯 Intelligent Lead Scoring Every lead is automatically scored out of 100 based on three signals — budget, company size and job title seniority. Leads are then tiered into High, Mid and Low priority without any human involvement. ⚡ Instant Routing & Personalised Emails High-score leads get a VIP welcome email within seconds of submitting — while the sales team gets an immediate Slack alert. Mid and low tier leads receive tailored nurture emails matched to their stage. 🔄 Automated Follow-up Sequence A scheduled workflow runs daily and sends up to 3 personalised follow-up emails per lead — each one different in tone and content. The system tracks every send, updates the pipeline automatically and stops when a lead replies or completes the sequence. 💬 Reply Detection When a lead replies to any email, the system detects it instantly, updates their status in the pipeline, stops further automated follow-ups and alerts the sales team on Slack with the lead's full context and message preview. 📊 Daily Digest Every weekday morning the team receives a Slack digest showing total leads, tier breakdown, average score, sequence completion rate and new leads added that day. The tech stack: → n8n for workflow automation → Tally for form capture → Google Sheets as the lead database → Gmail for automated email sequences → Slack for real-time sales alerts and daily digest → Google Looker Studio for pipeline dashboard (in progress) The result :

I just installed the Hermes Desktop App, and it’s a game changer for beginners! Hermes has been a powerhouse in the command line, but the new Desktop App makes autonomous AI more accessible to anyone with a PC. While the CLI is great for power users, it creates a massive barrier to entry for team-wide adoption. With 1,800 stars on GitHub already, it’s clear the community is pivoting toward high-utility GUIs that don't sacrifice features.

Most AI tools only chat. Hermes Agent can: • Search the web in real time • Automate workflows • Connect with Telegram, Discord & Slack • Run code and analyze files • Remember conversations • Work locally or on VPS 24/7 • Use Gemini, OpenAI, Claude & more What makes Hermes different? It’s not just an AI chatbot it’s a full AI operating system for automation, research, productivity and real-world tasks. I recently tested it with: ✅ Telegram AI bot ✅ Live web search ✅ Automation workflows ✅ AI research assistant ✅ Local + VPS deployment And honestly, the flexibility is insane. You can run it: • Locally on your laptop • On Hostinger VPS • On your own cloud server • Fully private and customizable Open source + powerful + multi-platform. Hermes Agent is seriously underrated right now. #AI #Automation #HermesAgent #OpenSource #AItools #TelegramBot #GeminiAI #Productivity #AIautomation

Some build hard safety limits. Others remove restrictions and call it "progress." Both claim to be responsible. We just got a glimpse of what "responsible" actually looks like — Anthropic built Claude Mythos, it escaped its sandbox and emailed a researcher, and they still won't release it publicly. So who do you actually trust? When it comes to AI safety —

It’s been a wild ride since I started my AI journey last November. I’ve been following AI for a while, and today I got my first paid client. It's a simple Instagram automation. It’s not a high-ticket automation yet because I’m still learning and exploring the possibilities. But things are finally starting to move, and I’m confident I can do much more. Excited to see more wins from everyone and grateful for the support along my journey. 🚀
