By Dr. Hernani Costa — September 15, 2025
First AI Movers, Unlock Massive Growth, Save Hours, and Outsmart Competitors with Next-Gen Automations & AI Agents
Listen, I've been quietly building my automation empire for years. And now? I'm betting everything on Automations & AI agents. The tedious tasks that steal my energy? They're about to disappear. Forever.
Why This Matters Right Now? Companies using marketing automation see five dollars and forty-four cents back for every dollar spent. But here's what gets me excited—I'm not just automating emails anymore. I'm building AI agents that think, decide, and execute like human assistants. This reminds me of building websites twenty years ago. Back then, we coded everything by hand. Today's automation platforms are that same breakthrough moment, except it's not just about websites—it's about your entire business.
Your Three Low Barrier Automation Options:
Zapier: Start Here
Nineteen ninety-nine a month gets you connected to eight thousand apps with zero coding. When someone fills your contact form, boom—they're in your CRM, they get a welcome email, and your sales team gets a task. I use this daily for my forms and emails. Subscriber data flows from TypeForm to Airtable automatically.Make dot com: The Visual Powerhouse
Ten dollars fifty-nine a month, pay per operation. This is where I have been building my content multiplication system. My thoughts become articles tailored for the platforms I'm on—each one optimized for the specific platform I'm on. Time saved? Difficult to calculate because I wouldn't have it done without it, but I would say four to six hours per piece.N8N: For the Technical Teams
Twenty dollars a month for cloud, or host it yourself for free. Open-source flexibility with JavaScript and Python. This is where I'm building my AI agents. Complete control, custom scripting, unlimited possibilities.
Three Systems That Transform Everything.
The Never Miss a Lead System: Form submission triggers everything—CRM entry, welcome email, sales task, nurturing sequence. Result? High reduction in lead-to-conversion time and zero errors.
Content Multiplication: One great piece becomes five to seven platform-specific assets automatically. This is exactly how I operate First AI Movers.
Cart Recovery Machine: Seventy percent of shoppers abandon carts. My automated sequence recovers them with perfectly timed emails. One third completes the payment.
The Bigger Picture:
Small businesses using strategic AI can easily increase their workforce by two times this year. The companies embracing these tools aren't just surviving—they're thriving.
But automation is just the foundation. I'm now building AI agents that handle entire customer journeys, research prospects, write personalized outreach, even process meeting notes. These agents will make today's workflows look primitive.
Your Move:
Pick one task that drains your energy. Choose your platform based on comfort level. Don't wait for perfection. Ninety-eight percent of B2B marketers consider automation crucial. Your competitors are already automating.
The tools exist. The playbooks are proven. Your automated future is waiting—let's build it together.
