Building workflows and AI agents (n8n, Make, voice agents) that small businesses pay to set up and maintain.
BRI Score
out of 100
The strongest opening on the board: businesses pay for automations that work, not demos. Sell one narrow workflow to one industry instead of "AI agents" in general.
Suits
People with a skill clients pay for, comfortable selling and keeping clients happy.
Not for
Anyone who wants income without talking to clients.
What would change our view: Rates falling or many new sellers in the same marketplaces would mean the window is closing.
