Notes
Engineering write-ups from systems that run unattended: n8n workflow patterns, GoHighLevel compliance, RAG architecture, agent autonomy, and the incidents that taught me the most. No listicles — every note comes from a production scar.
Jul 06, 2026How my autonomous agent verifies 200 leads a day (and booked a real demo)Architecture of a fully autonomous AI outbound agent: scraping behind residential IPs, bounce-scrubbing before sequencing, bounded autonomy with cost ceilings — 200 verified leads/day in production.7 minJul 06, 2026n8n can't handle heavy video files — the FFmpeg microservice patternHow to process video in n8n without hitting binary data memory limits: hand rendering to a Flask + Docker FFmpeg microservice and pass references, not bytes. From a pipeline publishing 8 videos/day.5 minJul 06, 2026GoHighLevel A2P compliance: the checklist I use on every client buildA practical GoHighLevel A2P 10DLC compliance setup: staged registration gates, custom-value disclaimers, DND workflows, and why no SMS step should exist before A2P is confirmed.6 minJul 06, 2026Stopping LLM hallucinations in n8n workflow generation with RAGLLMs invent plausible-looking n8n node parameters that fail on import. Grounding generation in 794 real node schemas indexed in Supabase pgvector fixes it — a three-agent RAG architecture.6 minJul 06, 2026Publishing 8 videos a day at $0/month: self-hosted Kokoro TTS + free-tier ARMA fully autonomous YouTube automation pipeline with zero infrastructure cost: self-hosted Kokoro TTS instead of paid voice APIs, FFmpeg rendering on Oracle free tier, and n8n orchestration.5 min
