Audit my HighLevel CRM workflows and build the missing one

Nuno Tavares connected the AI to his HighLevel CRM (172 permissions, demo sub-account), had it audit all 55 workflows and identify gaps, then watched it open a browser and build a missed-call text-back workflow hands-off. The build landed as a draft: missed-call trigger, tag and wait step.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

HVAC owner runs 27 agents, and only three emails may send themselves

An HVAC company owner who runs several small businesses counted 27 active AI agents and 36 routines, 26 of them scheduled, working across his companies: pulling statements, filing invoices, updating sales and cost sheets, flagging overdue maintenance and tracking renewal dates. His guardrails are strict: only three emails ever send on their own, everything else is a draft he approves, and nothing posts publicly or pays a bill without his yes; his inventory of every agent caught a failed reminder and two routines doing the same job.

His team let the AI handle Sentry alerts in Slack for three months

An engineer at Sumasate writes that his team connected the AI Tag to GitHub, Sentry, their database, log tools and Notion, and let it do the first look at every alert in Slack. After three months, fixes finished inside alert handling went from about 2 of 38 alerts a month (5.3 percent) to about 7 of 44 (15.9 percent).

Run my moving-company marketing with three always-on bots and a 35-minute morning approval pass

A moving/junk-removal owner says three the AI run his marketing agency work: a Google Business Profile posts bot drafting daily posts in each client's voice, a review-replies bot generating three reply options per new review, and a GoHighLevel bot logging leads, creating call-back tasks and drafting follow-ups. His morning pass runs 6:30, 6:45 and 7:00 AM approving posts, picking replies and sending follow-ups, done by 7:05 with nothing left open; the bots are logged into Gmail, Quo, Stripe, Wix, GoHighLevel and Google Business Profile.

Run an overseas store for 72 hours and make $1,000

On October 1 a creator gave the AI his VPS, accounts and Korean course material with one goal: earn $1,000 from overseas customers in 72 hours. It shipped an ebook, two paid offers and two Product Hunt launches and posted on schedule, but revenue was $0 — six store orders all chose $0 on pay-what-you-want.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

My agent listed hundreds of DVDs for my first live selling show and helped during it

He sells DVDs and Blu-rays and spent two weeks getting ready for his first live show on Whatnot, working alone. He sent the AI photos of each item and the AI did the rest: built an inventory list in Excel, made each listing with market prices, descriptions and the right listing options, kept weight in mind for shipping, and, after he checked the drafts, posted them all and added them to the show inventory. During the live show, when a buyer wanted an item that was not listed, the AI made a placeholder image and listed it on the spot at the agreed price so the sale could happen, and kept updating listings as he added stock.
