What are the best ways you're using AI automations (n8n, Make, Zapier)? My initial thoughts: Best use case: Data enrichment - Ex. Using clay to help data enrich for email outreach Mixed results: Finding/sorting broker deals - Not needed to find broker deals as many aggregator sites (ex. Kumo) do a great job - Maybe some benefit to automate your review with AI instead of manually looking at those that fit your filters Doesn't work at scale: AI written emails - I've not done this much because I've found so many owners are getting AI slop emails But let me know if you think I'm off with any of my assessments above or if you're finding other creative ways to use AI to dramatically improve your work processes.

I love this topic! Clay is excellent, especially if you have the time to work in the system. There's a lot of good, talented Marketers out there that use it too. I don't recommend AI written emails (full disclosure - I am a fractional CMO). Most agencies don't put a lot of time into getting results for their clients and Cold Email outreach is extremely techical. The AI-generated copy and "automation" is significantly weaker that a semi-manual approach where someone is writing the copy and deploying it via automation. Feel free to reach out anytime - I happy to provide additional insight - I also do a considerable amount of work consulting with buyers on the search side via Marketing.

RSS. APP felt to me as a canary in the coal mine with its ability to repurpose prior newsletter content to issue new ones based on what worked and what did'nt work (with regards to open rates)_
