Hello! · AI Automation Society

Hello!

Hey all, I'm Joel. I'm new to the AI automation space and just started my AI agency, Rivasyst. While I am new to this space, I've been building software for 10+ years, and got started building AI solutions back in 2015 at IBM for IBM's enterprise clients way before ChatGPT was cool and took the world by storm. In my most recent role as a contract AI engineer on one of PayPal's dev teams, I built a feature that let non-technical business users and employees build, manage, and visualize n8n workflows from scratch using natural language prompts all within PayPal's own internal version of ChatGPT using custom built agent tools and the n8n-mcp project. I did this before I've ever even used n8n firsthand.

As an engineer, when I used n8n for the first time to build a real workflow for Rivasyst, I picked it up in less than 10 minutes and immediately productive given that it was built for developers. I built a simple workflow that took form submissions from my discover and demo call forms, validates the email to ensure it was legit, conducts a quick web search on the website url and business provided, passes that to an AI agent to score the probability of it being a scammer vs a real lead and if validated, provides me with a quick list of potential AI automations for that business as well as some potential questions to ask during the discovery call, sends me a notification with the details on slack and sends the lead an email with the link to book a time on my calendar, all in about 2 hours with testing and edge case validation from scratch.

I'm currently working with a close friend of mine who is a real estate agent to build a 24/7 AI voice agent for realtors to solve lead capture for property listings and got one working 90% in about 3 days worth of simple work having never ever built a voice agent before. The reason I am going all in on AI automation services is that as an experienced engineer, I have the expertise to build AI solutions from scratch, but with simple low-code tools like n8n, coupled with agentic coding tools like Claude Code, I can build complex production-grade systems that would have taken me months to build in a matter of days, enabling me to move with velocity and at the same time saving me tons of time and money. Because of this, I can offer the solutions clients need at an affordable cost.

I'm here to learn, grow, network and partner with consultants who may need an experienced AI builder to help (affordably) solve real problems with AI.
