Just shipped a new immersive e-commerce concept focused on storytelling over visuals.

Anyone else lose deals to "let me think about it"? I used to just say "sure, no worries!" and let them go. Huge mistake — most never came back, not because they said no, but because life got busy and the urgency just faded. Now I ask directly: "Totally get it — is it price, timing, or fit you want to think through?" That single question surfaces the real objection almost every time. If it IS timing, I lock in an exact follow-up moment on the spot instead of a vague "I'll check back." Curious if this happens to others here — how do you handle it?

Some of you have never heard of the AIS+ community. Others have but the part that trips you up is the actual difference between the two. Either way, this post will give you clarity. This free group is a bundle of quick resources pulled from my YouTube videos, plus a massive open community that anyone can join. It's a great place to get your bearings and see what's possible. But it's open to everyone, it can be noisy and overwhelming, and there's no path through it. You can get help from other members, but I rarely answer questions here. AIS+ is the opposite: - A step by step roadmap with a clear order, so you're never guessing what to do next - A much smaller community of people who are seriously committed to building and selling AI agents - I answer questions every day and run a weekly Q&A call where you can get direct access to me For the course material: The roadmap takes you from zero to building and selling AI agents, and the whole thing is built on the latest tech like Claude Code and Codex. We update it constantly. The old n8n material has been archived. It's still there if you want it, but it's no longer the focus, because the way you build today has moved on and the courses moved with it. Here's the actual roadmap inside, in order, with when each piece opens up: 1. Start Here (opens the moment you join). Gets you oriented. How the community works, the path ahead, and how to get help when you need it. 2. Build Your Portfolio (opens the moment you join). Why a portfolio matters, beginner level tutorials, and what types of projects to focus on. You end up with real work you can show a client. 3. Claude Code (opens the moment you join). This is now its own dedicated course. Build faster, turn ideas into working automations, and go deep on the tool serious builders are using right now. This takes you from beginner to advanced, step-by-step. 4. Get Your First Clients (opens after 30 days). Getting your first clients is hard, because you don’t have any case studies yet. So, we analyzed all of the success stories from our members and found they get their initial clients with two different techniques: warm outreach and Upwork. So, we teach both techniques in detail with exactly what to say, exactly how to position yourself when you have no proof.

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to building AI agents and workflows. I’ve made a few projects already and hosted them on a website, but my latest workflows don’t really work through a web UI. They need to run in the background or trigger automatically. What are you guys using to deploy backend-only AI agents? Looking for some good stack recommendations or tools to check out. Thanks!
