The 3 AI automations every solopreneur should build first
If you're running a business solo, you're leaving hours on the table every week without these three automations:
1. Lead intake → CRM → personalized follow-up
A new lead fills out a form. n8n catches the webhook, enriches the data, adds them to your CRM, and Claude drafts a personalized email based on their responses. Total setup time: ~45 minutes. Time saved per week: 3-5 hours.
2. Content repurposing pipeline
You record one video or write one long post. Make.com watches for the new content, sends it to Claude to generate 5 social posts, a newsletter snippet, and a thread. Scheduled and ready to go. One piece of content → 7+ assets.
3. Client onboarding on autopilot
New payment hits → Make.com triggers a sequence: welcome email, Slack/Discord invite, project folder creation, and a personalized onboarding checklist generated by Claude based on what they bought.
These aren't hypothetical. These are production systems I've built and run daily.
If you want the actual templates and step-by-step breakdowns for each of these, that's exactly what we do inside AI Ops Forge.
