As a business owner myself, I find it valuable to understand not just what tools others use, but why they've made those choices. This transparency helps potential clients understand my approach to building efficient, effective automation solutions.
Just to be frank, I am NOT limited to any specific tools (I adapt based on client needs and project requirements), but here are the technologies I frequently use in the AI automation space:
Frequently Used Tools
- N8N - The GOAT platform for automations, delivering exceptional results with or without AI integration
- Railway - Makes hosting incredibly quick with easy deployment workflows. I always use to easily self host opensource platforms/frameworks
- Windsurf - For building frontend and backend connections
- Retell - My current preference for production conversational voice, although comparisons are generally equal
- Notion - Exceptionally flexible for multi-purpose documentation and organization
- Google Workspace & Cloud - The fastest infrastructure to spin up for startups
- Pydantic AI/LangGraph Combo - For more production ready agents
- Twilio - The standard for reliable number access and communications
- Cal.com - A free and more feature-rich alternative to Calendly
- Framer - Creates powerful interactive design elements
- Supabase - Provides excellent RAG data replacement methodology
- Pinecone - I use if I don’t need to replace RAG data. A better vector database.
- ElevenLabs - Delivers the most realistic voice synthesis for all audio purposes
- Groq - Offers extremely fast inference for AI operations
- Apify - Allows access to niche scraping capabilities
Platforms I Have Experience With But Use Less Frequently
- GoHighLevel - Previously used but moved away as it became bloated and buggy
