I run an AI automation agency I'm lining up additional capacity and looking for a skilled n8n integration specialist to come on as a subcontractor. **Important** This is a potential opportunity, not yet a guaranteed role. I'm building a shortlist now so I can move fast if it's confirmed in the coming days. I'd rather be upfront than waste your time. What I'm looking for You live and breathe n8n and Claude. To be considered, I need to see evidence of real workflows you've built not just "I know n8n." Specifically: - Workflows showing proper error handling - Retry logic on HTTP/API calls - Claude API use with token management strategy's - Webhook security logic - Examples of real client problems you faced and how you solved them the messier the better... If you haven't signed a client before, tell me a problem you encountered when building a demo and how you fixed it. - Examples of two-way syncs between systems and how you avoid duplication The details - Rate: $15–20 USD/hour (depending on experience) - Targeting ~40 hours/week — but to be clear, this is not yet guaranteed - Fluent English is a must (client-facing standards, clear async comms) If that's you, DM me with examples of your work — workflow screenshots, exports, or a short Loom

Voice agents are great, and selling them as an agency is a smart play because you can serve multiple industries, but the part I’m loving right now is using voice agents inside an actual product. My latest application - creating a SaaS app for Independent takeaway shops. Most of these owners still run everything on paper. They take phone orders, write them down, cook the food, try to keep the line moving and hope the next call doesn’t go to voicemail. My early feedback from customer testing (actually talking to shop owners) - "We miss calls but we're doing fine" - "This looks great but we're already at capacity on how many orders we can fulfil" - "We don't really miss calls" Sharing here, because sometimes it's a great reminder you can spend months building something slick, but the market decides if it matters. The only way to know is to get outside, walk into shops - or speak to people in your niche and have the uncomfortable conversations. My next steps - speak to more owners find out if this is a "real" market trend or just the results of early feedback.

In this demo, an AI assistant, Lily, takes a reservation for a fictional restaurant. The agent: ✅ Answers questions from a dedicated Knowledge base ✅ Books a table for three at 8 p.m. ✅ Works within real system limits (maximum of two concurrent reservations) As Michelin arrives, it’s got me thinking where should AI fit in the future of hospitality?

Last time I shared a voice assistant that took Fish and Chips orders into a custom frontend using n8n, Lovable, and VAPI: Chippy’s demo 🍟🤖 This one’s a system that automatically captures appointments for companies where staff are tied up on the tools and can’t respond to “contact us” forms in time: Watch the demo 📅⚡ If this workflow sparks ideas, or you've got a project going where you need someone with experience in Lovable, n8n, Make, VAPI, or Supabase let's connect!
