Whenever a new tool launches, people go "RIP existing tools" (especially if it's from OpenAI).
But they're missing the point.
The field of ops and AI automation is WAY too big to be covered by one single tool.
That's why Agent Builder isn't killing n8n. That's why there's room for tools like Lindy. That's why Zapier and Make still thrive.
These tools don't compete. Instead, you have the option to combine.
Do this - and you can build the most powerful AI ops infrastructure imaginable.
✨ Agent Builder + n8n Build a chat interface with Agent Builder. Have it delegate to specialized agents in n8n. Request in natural language → Complex solution.
✨ Aidbase + GitHub Copilot Build a user-facing AI chat in Aidbase. Pass bug reports to GitHub Copilot agents. Get PRs with bugfixes proactively.
✨ Let AI mix and match. Build an AI manager in Agent Builder. Give it access to an n8n MCP server. Let it mix and match between a broad list of tools and specialized workflows.
At this point, you don't need more people. You need a better understanding of what AI ops infrastructure can do.

You want to build a solobusiness in 2026? You can! But you need to guard your time and sanity.
Here are 3 rules to live by.
1️⃣ 50 • 30 • 20 rule
50%: Joy + impact. Do the work that moves the needle and lights you up. Ship features, close deals, record the content that converts. If it's not energizing and revenue-driving, it's not in the 50.
30%: Joy. Pure curiosity time. Learn, play around, sketch ideas, talk to customers with no agenda. This can be a total waste of time, don't feel ashamed.
20%: Impact. Necessary, not thrilling. Finance, legal, admin, reporting. Batch it. Create templates, checklists, and automations so it doesn't sprawl.
2️⃣ 45-second rule
Back when I was in sales, we had this rule.
Lost a big deal? Clock starts. Take 45 solid seconds to be sorry for yourself. Cry, scream, throw things, whatever you need. But when the clock stops, it's back to business. No resentment, no regrets, no grief - just carry on.
I still use this rule. It's not always exactly 45 seconds, but the principle remains.
3️⃣ 4-week rotation rule
Week 1: Build week. Ship one meaningful improvement. Define a single release goal and a deadline.
Week 2: Marketing week. Publish daily. One pillar piece → repurpose into short posts, email, and outreach.
Week 3: Ops week. Automate, standardize, and clean up. SOPs, checklists, and tool audits reduce future chaos.
Week 4: Slack week. Recovery and perspective. Light maintenance, chill, long walks, reading, and time with family. Don't skip this week!
Follow these rules and you'll have progress you can feel, stress you can manage, and a business you actually enjoy running.

My team of AI agents was getting out of hand. So I hired a Lead AI Manager.
🤖 TypingMind
This is an LLM frontend that can connect with a large set of models - all from one unified UI.
But the most amazing part: With TypingMind, you can also add custom models.
A custom model, really, is any API that is compatible with OpenAIs completion endpoint.
This can be my fine-tuned models on OpenAI. But it can also be my own endpoint, where additional functionality is added.
This is how I use it.
TypingMind is my direct point of contact to: → My many n8n workflows → Different models → Fine-tuned models → Models that wrap additional logic
If I need content, I tell TypingMind to write a post. If I need a blog post, I tell TypingMind to write one. If I need a thumbnail, I tell TypingMind to generate it. If I need information, I ask TypingMind (it has direct access to Aidbase, our RAG).
And since TypingMind has access to everything, it knows where to delegate the task.
In a busy day-to-day, it's amazing to have a single point of contact that will manage, delegate, and orchestrate your tasks.
ℹ️ By the way, I'm not affiliated with TypingMind in any way. I just absolutely love the product.
You can get it on a lifetime deal here 👇 www.typingmind.com
Additionally, you can get FeedHive, Aidbase, and 3 other tool on a lifetime deal too.
These are all AI-Agent compatible tools that you can use in combination with TypingMind.
Pinecone used to be an essential building block in Aidbase's RAG system.
It would store tens of millions of individual knowledge points from the custom models our users are training on their content.
Our replacement?
A simple Postgres database using pgvector. Hosted on Hetzner.
Here's what changed:
1. Speed: Lower latency on our actual workloads 2. Cost: A fraction of the monthly bill 3. Flexibility: Normal SQL + vectors in one place 4. Control: No vendor lock-in, easier scaling 5. Simplicity: Fewer services, fewer failure points
The myth: You need "specialized" tools for production-grade RAG.
The reality: - You don't need the scale you think. - Optimize where it actually hurts. - Keep ownership of your data.
Run a portfolio of 3 small bets. Pick fast. Validate faster.
Here's the playbook:
1) The rule - 3 small bets > 1 big bet. - Target: $1–3k MRR each.
2) Pick bets - Reachable audience. - Already knows the pain. - Your edge: AI workflow/speed/data.
3) Effort vs TAM Start in *High TAM / Low Effort* Quick wins live in *Low TAM / Low Effort* Avoid *Low TAM / High Effort* *High TAM / High Effort* after traction.

We turned off email confirmation.
Now users can sign up and get started straight away.
Why?
Here's what the email confirmation step really adds:
- Friction when users are hot.
- Extra support requests.
- A bad first experience.
And the thing is...
❌ It's completely unnecessary.
Instead:
- Just let the user sign up.
- Do a quick check with SignupGate.
- Save the email for password reset.
✅ The email is verified (SignupGate).
✅ The user gets started immediately.
✅ Time-to-value shortens dramatically.
This will show on your bottom line.
ℹ️ Did you know?
You can get LIFETIME access to SignupGate (and +4 other tools) for a single lifetime purchase.

I just brutally cut another 3rd-party dependency.
Our Vector Database: Pinecone.
Pinecone used to be an essential building block in Aidbase's RAG system.
It would store tens of millions of individual knowledge points from the custom models our users are training on their content.
Our replacement?
A simple Postgres database using pgvector.
Hosted on Hetzner.
Here's what changed:
1. Speed: Lower latency on our actual workloads
2. Cost: A fraction of the monthly bill
3. Flexibility: Normal SQL + vectors in one place
4. Control: No vendor lock-in, easier scaling
5. Simplicity: Fewer services, fewer failure points
The myth:
You need "specialized" tools for production-grade RAG.
The reality:
- You don't need the scale you think.
- Optimize where it actually hurts.
- Keep ownership of your data.
Fancy tools isn't a strategy.
Outcomes are.
In this case:
pgvector won.

Solo founders: stop betting it all on one idea.
Run a portfolio of 3 small bets.
Pick fast. Validate faster.
Here's the playbook:
1) The rule
- 3 small bets > 1 big bet.
- Target: $1–3k MRR each.
2) Pick bets
- Reachable audience.
- Already knows the pain.
- Your edge: AI workflow/speed/data.
3) Effort vs TAM
Start in *High TAM / Low Effort*
Quick wins live in *Low TAM / Low Effort*
Avoid *Low TAM / High Effort*
*High TAM / High Effort* after traction.
4) 7-Day Validation
Calls → LP → Price → Prototype → Checkout → Demos → Payments.
5) Decisions
KEEP: ≥5 paid in 14 days.
DOUBLE: Payback < 2 months.
KILL: <3 paid after 30 days.
6) Tiny Ops
- Lindy/n8n automation.
- Docs + RAG.
- Feature flags.
Pick your 3.
Plot the quadrant.
Run the sprint.
Ship the winners.

Pricing a niche SaaS is hard.
Especially while you're still figuring out who loves it and why.
You want to test different pricing strategies early.
Here are 5 ladders to test:
1) Usage
Trigger: events, runs, records.
Show a live bar. Offer top-ups.
2) Seats
Trigger: active team members.
Invite → prompt upgrade. Gate a few pro features.
3) Credits
Trigger: actions or generations.
Low-credit alerts. 1‑click top-up. Clear cost per action.
4) Features
Trigger: advanced capabilities.
Lock tooltip explains value. Keep basics free.
5) Hybrid
One headline metric.
Small allowance. Clean overage or plan bump.
Day-one moves:
- Ship a tiny paid Starter.
- 1‑click in‑app upgrade.
- Trials 7–14 days, keep simple.
Guardrails:
- Use clear value metrics.
- No freemium.
- Nudge, don't punish.
