AI for Freelancers — Automate Your Entire Business

That was my life: the physical grind of riding, followed immediately by the mental grind of freelancing. I treated my business like a hamster wheel.

I'm Billy, an AI engineer by day and BMX racer at night. I used to struggle with admin tasks while chasing clients and writing proposals. That ended when I realized automation is key. My stack includes Claude for complex tasks, Gemini for quick research, and n8n for workflow automation. Here's how it works:

How It Works

  1. Claude: Perfect for nuanced tasks like proposal drafting or contract negotiation. It understands context and tone.
  2. Gemini: Great for quick data extraction and summarization. Saves time on manual summaries.
  3. n8n: The glue that ties everything together, handling workflows without human intervention.

Example workflow:

  • Form submission triggers n8n to scrape client details, send to Claude for a personalized email.
  • Email queued in CRM or auto-sent if criteria met.
  • Project folder created, draft invoice generated, and follow-up added to calendar.

OpenClaw: My game-changer. It manages multiple brands with different voices and strategies from one interface. No more manual context switching. For instance:

  • Brand A: Corporate tone
  • Brand B: Casual and creative
  • Brand C: Technical precision

The Automation System

With OpenClaw, I launch new brands quickly without reconfiguring everything. I focus on the high-value interactions that matter.

Automating freed up my time to ride BMX instead of handling admin. Start small, pick one process, and build a workflow. The tools are here; you just need to use them.
