Welcome to the first edition of Automation Vibes Weekly! This newsletter is your guide to the tools and trends shaping the automation landscape—specifically for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and creators who want to work smarter, not harder.
The automation conversation has been dominated by enterprise voices. Million-dollar implementations. Year-long projects. Teams of consultants.
But that's not the reality for most businesses.
The reality is:
Practical reviews of automation platforms—n8n, Make.com, Zapier, Lovable.dev, Manus AI—with real implementation examples.
Reusable workflows you can adapt for your business. Not theory—actual automations you can build today.
Case studies from real Midwest businesses. What worked, what didn't, and what they learned.
ROI frameworks that help you make the business case. How to measure success and justify expansion.
This is a community, not a broadcast. Reply to this newsletter with:
