Building AI agency from scratch : Day : 3
Operator Logs — Day 3 (Build Breakdown) Documenting this because I was overcomplicating it before: Step 1: Niche FilteringInstead of guessing, I used 3 filters: - Urgency (do they need this now?) - Ability to pay - Repetitiveness of tasks This immediately removed a lot of “cool but useless” ideas. Step 2: Single Offer FocusDefined 1 core system:Lead → qualify → respond → follow-up No dashboards, no extra features. Step 3: Workflow Draft (not building yet)Mapped it like this: 1. Lead comes in (form / DM / email) 2. Input gets structured 3. AI generates response based on context 4. Auto-follow-up if no reply Still not perfect, but way clearer than yesterday. Big takeaway:Most people jump into tools too early. Clarity > tools. Tomorrow: actually building the first version of this workflow.
