What this is

A real workflow someone ran with an AI agent. Copy the prompt into your agent, connect the listed tools, and it runs for you.

  1. Copy the prompt below.
  2. Paste it into your agent (we recommend Grok Bot) and connect the tools listed: whatever the prompt mentions.
  3. Run it once, check the result, then put it on a schedule if it repeats.

The prompt

Each time you finish a client-style workflow, record a 2–3 minute screen capture of it running, upload to YouTube with a plain title ('n8n: [problem] automated'), and pin your contact in comments.

Pitfalls & reliability

  • Real payment, one data point.

Evidence

Real payment, one data point. Marketing check: PASS: freelancer story. The YouTube link is the proof, not a funnel. Duplicate check vs agentusecases.ai: no match in sitemap slugs Verification: verified via search excerpt: €750 paid upfront, client found via YouTube comment, 40+ subscribers.
