- Hello esteemed members of The AI Atelier, Our team is currently exploring various approaches to building and deploying AI agents, and we're keen to gain insights from the community's experiences. We are currently utilizing N8N for workflow automation and integration within our agent development pipeline. As we advance our AI initiatives, we're evaluating the trade-offs between developing bespoke solutions (often referred to as "hardcoding") and leveraging existing frameworks. We're particularly interested in understanding the community's preference and rationale behind these choices. For those of you actively building AI agents, could you share your preferred methodologies? Are you primarily focusing on custom-built solutions, or are you finding greater efficiency and scalability by adopting frameworks such as Crew AI or Langchain? Any insights you can provide on the benefits and challenges of each approach would be greatly appreciated as we refine our development strategies. Thank you for your time and contributions.

The adventure begins. I’m so happy to see our Atelier growing so quickly! We’re creating a space of mutual support, where we can learn and share knowledge about AI, automation, content marketing, shipping digital products, and more. We chose the name Atelier because it perfectly reflects what we’re building: a small, exclusive space for crafting and creating. We didn’t name this community “the empire,” “the army,” or “the hub” because that’s not what we’re about—and it’s not what’s helpful for meaningful, hands-on projects. This year, we’re laying the groundwork. By 2025, the AI Atelier will be a great place for anyone working with digital tools. Our mission is to give each of us the resources to build amazing things, save time, and make money online. The AI Atelier is a collaborative space where we build cool stuff—and get our hands dirty in the process. So now, I’d love to hear from you: As an Atelier early-bird, what do you need? How can this Atelier grow to support you better? Let me know in the comments!

Hi everyone at The AI Atelier, I'm Joao Bondan, CTO at Infusio.io. We're changing how businesses operate by developing AI agents that can automate 99% of your day-to-day tasks. We're building a future where businesses run more efficiently with a small team and a powerful AI workforce. I am looking forward to connecting with this community of AI experts.
