A description of similar automation projects you have completed. 2. Which automation platform you recommend (Python, n8n, Power Automate, Make, or another solution) and why. 3. Examples of AI document processing or OCR projects you've built. 4. Your experience integrating with ERP systems. 5. Your estimated timeline. 6. Your hourly rate or fixed-price proposal. Please begin your proposal with the phrase: **"I have built AI document automation systems."** This helps us identify applicants who have carefully read the project description.

If this project is successful, additional work will include ERP integration, warehouse automation, customer service automation, purchasing automation, and AI-driven business process improvements.

We are a small AI consulting practice that helps financial services firms put AI to work inside their business. Our clients are owner-led firms like accountants, business appraisers, financial advisors, and insurance agents. We do not sell one-off scripts or disposable projects. We build practical AI systems that take real work off these firms' plates, delivered through ongoing monthly work. Demand is growing and the bottleneck is delivery. We are looking for one delivery partner to own that side of the work with us. How it works: we handle marketing, sales, and the paid advisory session that starts each client. Once a client moves to ongoing work, you take the lead on delivery. You build the systems against the priorities we set each month, and you run the weekly client meeting as their main point of contact. We stay in for support, to translate the client's business context, and to own the relationship at the top, but week to week the client works with you. What you would own: -Building AI and agentic systems for clients -Running the weekly client meeting and being the client's day-to-day contact -Taking each engagement from kickoff through delivery on the month's agreed hours, to a standard we can stand behind Compensation is $100/hour for your hours, which include both build time and client meetings. Straightforward and paid against tracked hours. As our client book grows, so do the hours available. Who we are looking for: -Genuinely fluent building real systems with modern AI tools. -Not just familiar with them. You should be comfortable architecting and shipping working systems for non-technical business owners. -Client-ready. You can run a working session, explain technical things plainly to a non-technical owner, and hold a client relationship week to week. -Native or fluent English. You are in front of clients every week, so clear, natural communication is non-negotiable. -Strong general technical judgment. The specific stack matters less than the ability to find the right solution and build it. -Reliable. We scope the work and stand behind it, so we need to count on what you deliver and how you handle the client. Who this is not for: anyone looking to own sales or pricing, anyone who only wants to build quietly and never talk to a client, and anyone new to this work hoping to learn on the job. To apply, tell us briefly: the most relevant AI system you have built and what it did for the business, how comfortable you are leading client calls, and how you approach building these systems. Start your reply with the word "Agentic" so we know you read this in full. Applications without it will not be reviewed. We will move quickly with the right person.

Type: Hourly, ongoing (part-time to full-time, room to grow) Stack you'll work in: Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Google Workspace/Gmail, Claude + other LLM APIs, Zapier/Make/n8n About us We're a fast-moving sports and fan-engagement startup. We're small, we ship quickly, and we want AI woven into how the whole company operates, not as a side experiment, but as the default way we work. You'd be the person who makes that real. What you'll do Map our current workflows across sales, marketing, ops, and content, then find the highest-leverage places to automate. Build automations and agent workflows that connect our tools (Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Gmail/Google Workspace) using platforms like Zapier, Make, or n8n plus LLM APIs. Design and ship AI agents for real jobs: lead routing and CRM enrichment, content drafting, customer/fan response triage, internal knowledge search, reporting digests. Stand up the connective tissue (prompts, integrations, guardrails, and monitoring) so automations are reliable, not brittle demos. Train and enable our team: build SOPs, run working sessions, and create lightweight docs so non-technical people actually adopt what you build. Help set our AI strategy and roadmap as we scale. You're a strong fit if you Have shipped real automations and AI agent workflows in production (not just prototypes). Are fluent with Zapier / Make / n8n and at least one major LLM API (Anthropic/Claude, OpenAI). Know your way around HubSpot, Notion, Slack, and Google Workspace integrations and APIs. Can write clean prompts and think in systems: edge cases, error handling, human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Can explain technical work to non-technical people and get them to adopt it. Communicate proactively and move fast without breaking trust on things that touch customers or revenue. Nice to have Experience taking a small company "AI-native" end to end. Background in sports and/or blockchain. Comfort with light scripting (Python/JS) when no-code hits its limits. How to apply In your proposal, please: Describe one AI agent or automation you built, the tools involved, and the measurable result. Tell us how you'd approach training a non-technical team to actually use what you build. This part matters as much as the build. Share your hourly rate and weekly availability. Proposals that skip these will be passed over. We're looking to start with a small paid task and grow the engagement from there.

We are seeking an experienced Workflow Automation Specialist to design and implement a scalable email automation system that streamlines the processing of inbound requests and outbound communications for Data Subject Rights Requests. Our team currently handles a moderate-to-high volume of incoming emails from multiple sources.

Create an A.i sales agent that automates tasks in real estate

Dear Universe, Please send me someone who can automate our workflows. Someone who looks at our WordPress, WooCommerce, HubSpot, Monday, and Make stack and just... knows what needs to happen. Because God knows I've been through the manual emails, the spreadsheet hell, the constant back-and-forth with clients on onboarding, the processes that should've been automated months ago, and dealing with people who are wishy-washy about their commitment. Look, I'm really good with people, I'm good at design, I'm good at ideas... but holding all the mental load of architecting workflows and automation systems? That's not my thing. There's gotta be somebody out there with a really smart, healthy, analytical brain who can help me plan it right, diagram it properly, and architect this like an adult. Someone who does it right the first time. I need a workflows engineer who gets it, someone who can build a client-facing dashboard so our onboarding process runs itself, without me sending a single manual email. If you think you're a good fit, answer as if you're The Universe responding to my plea. Let me know why you're the one, and I'll know you actually read this. Thanks, Universe. Let's see what you got.

Overview We’re looking for an experienced AI engineer or AI systems builder to help us design and build an internal intelligence layer that turns fragmented customer data into actionable growth opportunities. Right now, customer insights live across multiple disconnected systems — CRM notes, product usage data, emails, support tickets, and spreadsheets. While the data exists, it is not structured in a way that helps us proactively identify expansion opportunities, churn risks, or account-level next steps. We want to build an AI-driven system that continuously synthesizes this information and helps our team understand: * What is happening inside each account * Where expansion or upsell opportunities exist * Which accounts are at risk and why * What the next best action should be for each customer ⸻ What You’ll Build You will design and implement an AI system that can: * Ingest structured and unstructured data (CRM, emails, notes, product signals) * Build dynamic “account intelligence profiles” for each customer * Identify patterns across accounts (usage drops, feature gaps, expansion signals) * Generate clear, human-readable account summaries * Recommend next-best-actions for sales, customer success, or leadership * Surface expansion opportunities based on behavioral and contextual signals * Flag risk signals early with supporting reasoning ⸻ Ideal Output For each account, the system should be able to generate: * A concise account narrative (“what’s going on here”) * Key signals and anomalies * Expansion opportunities (with rationale) * Risk factors (churn or stagnation indicators) * Suggested actions for the team this week * Confidence level and supporting evidence ⸻ Why This Matters We are sitting on a large amount of customer data, but most of it is passive. The goal is to turn it into an active intelligence system that helps our team: * Prioritize the right accounts * Increase expansion revenue * Reduce churn risk * Spend time on the highest-impact opportunities This becomes a core internal system that directly impacts revenue efficiency and customer outcomes. ⸻ Ideal Candidate We’re looking for someone with experience in: * LLM-based systems and agentic workflows * Data pipelines and multi-source data ingestion * Prompt engineering + structured reasoning systems * CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.) * Customer analytics / product analytics * Building internal AI tools or copilots * Backend + API integration work Bonus if you’ve worked on: * RevOps tooling * Customer success platforms * Data enrichment or account intelligence systems * SaaS growth analytics ⸻ Deliverables * System architecture for AI customer intelligence layer * Data ingestion and normalization approach * Prompting / reasoning framework for account analysis * Prototype system (or working MVP) * Output format for account intelligence reports * Documentation for internal expansion and scaling * Recommendations for tooling (build vs buy decisions) ⸻ Engagement This starts as a project-based build, but could expand into a long-term role as we scale the system across our entire customer base and additional workflows. ⸻ To Apply Please include: * Examples of AI systems or agentic workflows you’ve built * Experience integrating LLMs with real business data * Your recommended architecture for a system like this * Any clarifying questions you’d want answered before starting

Guardian Senior Solutions GoHighLevel + Retell AI Build — Job Posting & Scope of Work Posted by: Paul · Guardian Senior Solutions (GSS) Orange County, California — remote contractor accepted Project overview Guardian Senior Solutions (GSS) is a direct-to-consumer senior care navigation platform in Orange County, California. We are a conflict-free alternative to referral platforms like A Place for Mom — we coordinate care, legal, financial, and home equity needs for senior families rather than operating as a care provider ourselves. We need a GoHighLevel (GHL) build that automates our lead-to-appointment pipeline end to end: from the moment a lead comes in (web form, paid ad, social DM, referral) through AI-driven outreach (voice via Retell AI, SMS, email) to a booked assessment appointment with one of our case managers, by phone or in person. This is a real-time-sensitive use case — families reaching out are often in or near a care crisis, so speed and reliability of follow-up directly affects whether we can help them. What success looks like • A lead that fills out a form, comments on a social post, or calls in gets a response within 5 minutes, every time, with no silent failures. • Qualified leads are automatically routed into a clear pipeline and booked onto a case manager's calendar without manual intervention. • We can see, in one dashboard, exactly where every lead is and whether any have gone stale. • The system is documented well enough that we are not permanently dependent on the person who built it. Scope of work 1. Core GHL architecture • Build a 6-stage lead pipeline: New Lead → Contacted → Nurturing → Appointment Booked → Consultation Complete → Not Ready / Lost. • Configure custom fields: care urgency (1–5), who care is for (self / parent / spouse), homeowner Y/N, estimated home value, legal documents in place Y/N, lead source. • Set up lead source tagging across all channels: Google Ads, Meta Ads, organic/social, referral partner (by name), direct, and any purchased lead lists. • Build a reporting dashboard tracking: leads by source, speed-to-contact, appointment conversion rate, show rate, and pipeline value by stage. 2. Retell AI voice integration • Integrate Retell AI with GHL so that a new lead triggers an outbound AI voice call within 5 minutes of form submission. • Build fallback logic: if the call is not answered, automatically fall back to SMS rather than silently dropping the lead. • Configure the call outcome (answered / voicemail / booked / declined) to write back into the GHL contact record and move the pipeline stage accordingly. • Work with us to finalize the AI voice script and qualifying questions (we have a draft framework already). 3. Lead nurture automation • Build the speed-to-lead workflow: AI call + SMS on form submit, second call attempt at 1 hour, email at 2 hours, manual task created for a human follow-up at 24 hours if still unresponsive. • Build a 21-day nurture drip for leads not yet ready to book, mixing educational email content with SMS check-ins (content outline will be provided). • Build appointment confirmation and reminder sequences (instant confirmation, 24-hour reminder, 1-hour reminder) via email and SMS. • Build a post-consultation follow-up sequence including a same-day summary, a 3-day check-in, and a 7-day review request (conditional on a positive-outcome tag). 4. Social + email content engine • Set up GHL's Social Planner across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok with an approval workflow so content is AI-drafted but human-approved before publishing. • Set up a weekly email campaign workflow: AI-assisted draft, human approval step, then send. • Connect inbound engagement (Facebook/Instagram DMs and comments, web chat, SMS, email replies) to GHL Conversations and route qualified leads into the Conversation AI for qualification. • Flag clearly in writing if TikTok DM-to-CRM integration is not currently supported natively by GHL, and propose a workaround if one exists. 5. Appointment booking & case manager routing • Integrate calendar booking (Calendly or GHL's native calendar) so qualified leads can be booked directly onto the correct case manager's calendar, distinguishing between phone and in-person assessment appointment types. • Build routing logic if we have more than one case manager (e.g., by territory, availability, or caseload). 6. Reliability, testing, and handoff • Idempotency checks so a lead submitting twice, or a webhook firing twice, does not trigger duplicate calls or duplicate pipeline entries. • A staging/test mode so new or modified workflows are tested with dummy leads before going live. • Monitoring or alerting so we are notified if a workflow breaks or a lead has gone untouched for more than 2 hours. • Full written documentation of every workflow, automation, and integration built, in plain language we can hand to a future hire if needed. • A 30-minute live walkthrough/training call upon completion. Requirements • Demonstrated prior experience integrating Retell AI (or a comparable AI voice platform) with GoHighLevel. Please describe your specific integration approach in your application — this is the single most important qualifier for this role. • Strong working knowledge of GHL workflows, pipelines, Conversations, Social Planner, and custom fields. • Experience with webhook-based integrations and basic error handling / fallback logic. • Prior experience in healthcare, home services, senior care, or another high-urgency, high-trust service business is a strong plus. • Clear, responsive communication — we will be working closely together through build and testing. How to apply 1. Confirm you have integrated Retell AI (or similar) with GoHighLevel before, and briefly describe how you approached it. 2. Share 1–2 examples of GHL builds you've done for service businesses, ideally with multi-channel lead nurture. 3. Provide your estimated timeline and a flat-fee quote for the full scope above (we prefer fixed pricing over hourly for this project). 4. Let us know your availability to start. We have a detailed internal spec (pipeline stages, message templates, and workflow logic) ready to share with serious candidates upon request.
