🎤 Topic: Clone Yourself with Code: How to Build Your Own AI Assistant Using n8n

Featuring Sean Riggs, Founder of BrandGears.

What if you could duplicate yourself? Well, at least the parts that handle scheduling, emails, task follow-ups, lead tracking, and pretty much anything else digital? In this live session, automation expert Sean Riggs shows you how to build your own personal AI assistant using the open-source powerhouse n8n.

You’ll learn how to create an intelligent, always-on agent that:

• Interacts with your email, contacts, calendar, and tasks
• Reads your emails and flags key messages
• Book meetings based on your calendar availability
• Summarizes conversations and auto-generates tasks
• Populates and maintains a live CRM inside Google Sheets
• Helps you stay focused by surfacing what to work on next
• And even answers questions based on your data

Whether you're a solo founder drowning in admin work or a small team looking to scale without hiring, this session delivers a real, repeatable framework for using AI + automation to multiply your output without burning you out!

Sean will walk you through the exact tools, workflows, and logic he uses to power his own AI assistant at BrandGears.com, with takeaways you can use immediately in your business.
