Websites got cheap. Everyone ships a landing page. What isn't cheap is an agent that does the boring work for you — triaging, replying, routing, posting, monitoring — without a human in the loop for every step.

That's the direction I'm heading: AI-agent and automation systems, not brochure sites. Still early — but building in public.

I'm getting hands-on with agent workflows and automations. The toolbox I'm exploring:

• n8n — visual workflows that connect your SaaS, APIs, and databases into one pipeline
• OpenClaw / Hermes — agent runtimes for tasks that need reasoning, not just if/else
• Bots — Telegram / WhatsApp / Discord assistants that talk to your users and your backend
• Prompt engineering — the part everyone skips: making the model reliable, not just clever
• AI-agent automation — glue it all together so the agent acts, not just answers

If it can be automated without you touching it, I want to build it.

1. Boring beats clever. A workflow that runs 1,000× a day and never surprises you > a demo that wows once.
2. The prompt is the product. Most "AI doesn't work" is just unengineered prompts. I treat prompts like code.
3. Human-in-the-loop only where it hurts. Automate the 95%, keep a person for the 5% that matters.
4. It has to survive me. If you can't run or tweak it after I'm gone, I failed.

Distributed systems fundamentals, tRPC, and pushing agents from "answers questions" to "gets things done." Always learning the next runtime.

Freelance automation, agent builds, or a "can this even be automated?" question — email me. I'm in Bandung (WIB, UTC+7), usually around 8 PM–1 AM, which lines up with US mornings and EU afternoons.
