Automation

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I’ve used Zapier for three years. I switched to n8n six months ago. And I want to be honest about what actually changed — because most comparisons I read online are written by developers who forget what it’s like to not know what a webhook is. ...

I’ve been writing about the government’s new AI approval process for the past week — why the Anthropic-vs-OpenAI rivalry doesn’t matter anymore and which of your tools are actually at risk. But there’s a twist nobody’s talking about: while the US government figures out how to approve frontier models, open-source AI is quietly becoming the most reliable option for people who just need things to work. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Two weeks ago, I was mid-project on a client deliverable when the model I was using vanished. Not a temporary outage — the government pulled it for review. The automation I’d built around that specific model stopped working. The client deadline didn’t care about regulatory politics. ...

Everyone asks me “is the free plan actually enough?” and honestly, the official page doesn’t tell the whole story. I switched from Zapier to Make.com because the pricing was clearer, but it took me months of real-world use to understand the true cost. If you’re searching for the make pricing free plan official details for 2026, this is the unfiltered guide I wish I’d had. No fluff, just exactly what you get, when you hit the limits, and where your money’s best spent. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I spent two weeks testing every major AI agent framework so you don’t have to. Here’s what I found — and why the “best” framework depends entirely on what you’re actually trying to build. If you’ve been hearing names like LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenClaw, and Hermes thrown around and wondering which one matters for someone who doesn’t write code, you’re not alone. The agent space is moving fast, and most of the content out there is written by developers, for developers. This post is different. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I used to spend an entire Saturday filming four short videos. Setup the ring light, adjust the camera, re-record because I said “um” twice, edit out the awkward pauses, add captions. By the end, I was exhausted and had maybe two usable clips. If you’ve been there, HeyGen changes the math entirely — and I’m going to show you the batch workflow that lets me produce a full week of video content in about thirty minutes. ...

A Stockholm startup called Fika Jobs just raised $4 million to build a platform where AI agents conduct video interviews with job candidates — real 10-minute conversations, not screening forms. And they’re not alone. The entire hiring pipeline is shifting from text to video, from resumes to recorded conversations, from manual screening to AI evaluation. If you’re a solo builder, this trend affects you twice: once as someone who might hire (or be hired), and once as someone who could build in this space. ...

General Intuition is building world models from 2 billion video game clips per year — teaching AI to understand space, time, and movement by watching how humans navigate dynamic environments. For solo builders, this shifts AI agents from text processors into visual operators that can see screens, navigate interfaces, and make spatial decisions. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I’ve been using Zapier for three years, and every time I think I understand the pricing, they change something. The latest shift — unified task-based pricing across AI steps, code, and SDK — actually makes things simpler. But “simpler” doesn’t mean “cheap.” If you’re trying to figure out what you’ll actually pay in 2026, here’s the real breakdown — no marketing fluff, just numbers. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I’ve been thinking about hiring a lot lately — not because I’m hiring, but because the entire process is getting weird. Last week, a Stockholm startup called Fika Jobs raised $4 million to build a platform where AI agents conduct video interviews with job candidates. Not screening calls. Not resume filters. Actual 10-minute conversations where an AI asks questions, records responses, and builds a video profile that employers browse. If you’re a solo builder who’s ever struggled to hire — or wondered how AI agents are going to change the job market — this one’s for you. ...
