Hi 👋 I'm Devin. I build AI Agents and AI Agent Teams for small businesses and agency owners.
I'm not an AI engineer, nor am I the foremost expert on building AI Agents - but I've learned how to build useful AI Agents that are operating my business in the background, and want to share what I know with you.
My goal is to use AI in any way I can to keep headcount low and margins high as I scale my business.
I fully believe AI Agents will be the backbone of every single business in the future and I plan to be on the front lines of this transformation.

can you give the link of that prompt template doc file?
bro your a rockstart dont stop keep going!!
Keep up the good work man - pure value - many thanks Devin
Great value 🤝
Do you have any training program that we can lead from
Do you sell a course on how to build an inbox agent / email sorting agent / email writer agent?
Excellent thought exercise on where the industry is going. Thank you for sharing! :)
Great Content, very well articulated and presented. I have a follow-up question - do you mean that the future is for businesses providing platforms for building Ai Agents (like n8n) and any room or scope for businesses building vertical agents/apps would fade away?
Fire
instead of creating a namespace that contains all data, cant you just not add the additional option of linking it to a certain namespace? and that way it would search the whole index by default?
Great value and good luck. The calendar agent is redundant if you'll push to calendly which has a sync to HS. I'm using it in my role.
Your approach is good; building up the foundation is the key for future implementation and AI adoption. Automation processes stand alone for specific use cases can't be scaled up, but they may be an good entry point for the company to start with AI adoption.
Thanks man
I think your approach is good. But I also think that doing a full blown discovery out of the gate might be too much from a sales perspective. Why not get a quick win, learn more about the client, then upsell / get some MRR with all the other automation they will likely need?
Yea this is a great point and something we've been wrestling with. Here's our thought process: If we can show a ton of value up front, it helps the prospect understand how we work, what our goals are, and how long some of this might take. During the sales process, we're also able to talk about other parts of the business that we can tackle. Having this forward facing approach is crucial because it can change how we structure the workflows (especially the data pipelines and databases) at the very beginning. Sometimes we have to rip out something we've done before because it wasn't designed for the new use cases we're adding. However, with all of that said, about two days ago I decided to add a Pilot Project as one of the offers that would be that first initial gateway before agreeing to a full retainer. So we're essentially taking your approach hah.
@@customaistudio Yeah. There is definitely some balance needed. But I think the more you do it, the more reusability you can get out of it. Sure, you might need to swap out the CRM, or the trigger, or whatever, but the "guts" of the process remain the same. I like to go in with some established low hanging fruit, deliver, then sell bigger agreements on the larger ticket stuff that requires more customization. Essentially productizing the easy stuff to kick off the relationship. But I definitely get what you're saying about future proofing. Always a balance!
I’ve been wondering about the topic of SaaS. Do you think it could pose a threat to us as creators of AI agents? For instance, could a new software emerge in the coming months that makes integrating these agents into businesses so easy that it renders creating them ourselves meaningless or obsolete? Nice video by the way :)
I think that's always the concern with new tech. YC seems to think vertical agents are the right play because they serve a very specific niche with a very specific pain point. They're probably right. I imagine the big players will capture the mass market products, and well funded tech startups will capture the ai infrastructure & tooling needs, which would leave the final application layer up to developers. This application layer may be platform specific where the platform creates a developer 'marketplace' of sorts (like plugins or apps) where individual developers can sell their agents, or build custom agents for their clients. With all of that said, I don't see SaaS existing as it does today - there's just no way it will more efficient for a human to manually click around or log data if an agent can do it.
@@customaistudio I agree with you also.
Keep pushing. You’re on the right track.
Thanks man, this is good to hear. We'll continue to dial in our process more and more over the next year. Excited to see how good we get at building and consulting on these systems
@ your one of the few who saw the death of SaaS way back. Also grateful that you Guided me to learn N8N now my entire is build on it. Keep pushing brother
this was so great, devin! I'm curious: how do you approach testing these agent solutions? do you hook it up and throw real customer data at it? do you have an internal testbed that you work through scenarios? my intuition is that you and customers share some unknowns which are hard to anticipate in testing - how do you prep/mitigate for those?
Great question. We're standardizing our QA & Testing process right now. What we've been doing in the past is set up demo data in the clients environments to essentially create a dev environment, then switch to prod when testing is complete.
@@customaistudio thanks! keep up the good work, man - you always bring an extremely thoughtful and insightful approach
How do clients feel about token usage. I’ve had a lot of agent setups absolutely eat through credits when I put them into a hierarchical structure with a supervisor agent.
Usually the ROI makes the usage cost irrelevant but sometimes it becomes an issues. I don't have any real clear thoughts about it tbh.
Great vid - are you doing this as a pre-sales activity or are you charging for it?
This is all pre-sales. We go deeper with metrics and Discovery calls in our paid offer.
another banger 🔥
Thanks brother
You're going down the right path. Too many people are focused in getting something in place now and don't understand the importance of building the foundation. Impatience now, will hur them later if they don't take the time in setting this up. Appreciate your content.
Thanks man!
Amazing insights and thanks for sharing the Miro link! By the way, when I clicked it shows “no access to board.” Is there an updated miro link? Thanks so much!
Can you number your tutorials? I'm trying to follow your series in building an AI agent but there isn't a queued playlist
Planning a whole weekend to rewatch this and build my first agent. I see how much you hate repeating this stuff, but this is such great content your putting out.
I keep getting a bad request - please check your parameters -- invalid schema for function 'create_document_drive': schema must be a JSON Schema of type : object"', got 'type: "None"'. I followed your instructions exactly. not sure what happened.
If you're using 'define below', you'll need to write a proper json schema. I wasn't doing in the best way in this video. To fix it, just copy the json you're using now and ask chatgpt to rewrite it as proper json schema.
seems like a dope business. what are your current monthly revenue numbers roughly?
lol
Hey Devin, Thanks for sharing such valuable content (been binge-watching your whole channel). Can't access the miro board, "No access to board", is it no longer public?
Yea I removed access because it's now irrelevant. I'll have an updated version coming out soon.
have you thought of hiring someone to do the tutorial videos for you?
Yea I'm thinking about partnering up with Nate Herk
can you put one together for my small moving company?
Absolutely
@@customaistudio Sweet deal do you have a business email?
@@mldn007 yea shoot me an email directly devin@customaistudio.io
Hi Devin! How do you deploy the projects? As far as I know, n8n cloud hosting service is VERY expensive
WIth a little knowledge of any cloud provider, you can host it yourself. You can search for "How to self host n8n" and you'll get there.
They don't charge per execution - which makes it cheaper than Zapier or Make if you're a heavy automation team.
Great videos! What is your education? How did you start this business?
That's a long story haha
What's the cost for 100 agents for all the saas you shown versus the possible revenue (100$ x 100) = $10000. Is that much below $5000? If yes, I am going to build agents in a month to start over the business 🎉🎉🎉
Hahah that's a quick timeline man, these are surprisingly more challenging to build than one would think... for now
Hey Devin, amazing video and great value. Learning alot about AI agents. I sent a request to access the miro board as it didnt pop open for me. Thanks
Yea I removed access because it's now irrelevant. I'll have an updated version coming out soon.
What do you do if your agents go rouge after giving them full access to the kingdom? 😮
Another great vid - I tried to access the Blueprint in Miro but was told I dont have permissions. Sent requerst but is there another link?
Yea I removed access because it's now irrelevant. I'll have an updated version coming out soon.
yes, exactly
How do I get access to the community? Looks like it is only allowing logins.
Yea wrong link. Here's the right one: community.customaistudio.io/join?invitation_token=fc8b67412558da3eddab67ce5e4e47d0693a9b7f-8cd30ac1-9d62-4a2d-a0dc-a81a40c0a30e
Great presentation! One tip for improvement: when showing the diagrams, the resolution seems low, and we can't see the details, so I would appreciate if you can zoom in more on your next videos. The same happens to me when presenting Miro boards, I don't know why (other screen sharing for Make for example come up on the video way better). Seems to be present on board presenting, maybe the free plans have this limitation?! Who knows...
Yea I think it's cause I'm using Loom instead OBS for this video. Wanted to get it out quick.
Thanks for the video, it helps. What do you use for your CRM? And where did you learn to do everything ? Was it by yourself or you learned from somewhere?
Thanks! We use HubSpot. I learned everything from TH-cam, ChatGPT, Reddit, and experience mostly
Your view on this is very helpful! Thanks for sharing such amazing and valuable content!!
Gonna have the video short here. Judging from the title I thought it was projects to help me find a job lol this is just a video of your products ugh
Projects to help you find a job?
You're the man. This is, alone, a masterclass in AI Agents, Business Strategy and for good observers: a masterclass in How to Sell AI Agents.
Thank you!
You should try Toingg for all voice phone/web calls, best and the cheapest in the market. 🎉 Thank me later
Noted
Vertical AI’s are born from this. Biggest opportunity coming up next.
Exactly
one question though how you schedule these agents ??
Set up a schedule trigger or a webhook if it needs to be triggered off an event.
@ using any framework for this ?
very helpful, great work
I can build agent with langgraph is there any demand of people like me ????
There certainly is!
Happy to be part of it!
LFG!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ayyyy
Congratulations on the success and so happy you're willing to share what you've learned. I've appreciated your time and conversation. Looking forward to see how this scales!
Thank you!
Your channel is awesome Devin - 🟢 thanks for this and the other videos
