Description
Summary I'm looking for an experienced AI automation engineer for a paid 1-hour consultation to help me figure out the right approach before I commit to building anything. My situation: I have a few manual processes eating my time and some data I need to pull from websites regularly. I've heard n8n and the Claude API could help, but I don't know how to structure it or what's realistic. I also think I'll eventually need a proper dashboard or web app to manage everything in one place, but I'm not sure what to build or in what order. I don't need you to build it all today, I need clear expert guidance so I don't waste money going down the wrong path. On the call I'd like to cover: • How to approach automating my workflow using n8n and custom scripts • Whether a web scraping setup is realistic for the sites I need, and how to keep it reliable • How AI / LLM integration (Claude / Anthropic API) could fit into the process • Whether I need a custom web app or dashboard (Next.js / React) to manage the data and control the automation, or whether a simpler setup is enough • What to build first, what to avoid, and roughly what each piece involves About you: • Hands-on experience with AI automation and n8n workflow automation • Experience with web scraping and data pipelines (Python) • Familiar with LLM integration using the OpenAI or Anthropic Claude API • Able to build custom web apps and dashboards (Next.js, React, Node) when a no-code tool isn't enough • Able to explain things clearly to a non-technical person and give straight, practical advice • Bonus: you actually build these systems yourself, so your advice is grounded in real experience Please share a couple of examples of automations, scrapers, or apps you've built. If the call goes well, there's a strong chance I'll hire you to build the full solution. Budget: $50 for the hour
