Client Testimonial
“The tool has fundamentally changed how we approach content tasks. However, a feature to manage the campaign process could be the icing on the cake!“
Alexander Huber, Marketing Manager
“The AI technology in conjunction with task prompts is a game-changer for startups like us. Although, adding multi-channel integrations could widen its appeal even more!”
Asher Bell, Marketing Manager

Current workflows & Challenges
Step 1: Process Setup
Build automation workflows using N8N, integrating Airtable and HiveSpark AI.
Manually setting up workflows for each platform is repetitive, and current tools like N8N are also complex and inefficient to use.
Step 2: Content Creation & Publishing
Build automation workflows using N8N, integrating Airtable and HiveSpark AI.
Switching between multiple tools is time-consuming, and auto-published AI content lacks a proper review step, making quality control challenging.
Step 3: Process Tracking & Optimization
Users monitors AI execution, tracks process, post-performance, and refines strategies using Airtable, and N8N.
Tracking multiple processes and AI activities in real time is difficult, making workflow optimization challenging.
Marketing managers struggle with fragmented workflows and inefficient
manual processes when managing recurring activities.
Three Design Principles
Efficiency
Automate repetitive tasks for faster, seamless workflows.
Transparency
Ensure user control and easy tracking of AI-driven workflows.
Simplicity
Provide an intuitive, user-friendly platform.

Reflection
I learned that transforming fragmented, manual processes into an intuitive system requires deep user research and continuous iteration.
This project taught me that transparency and control are crucial in AI automation. To build trust, users must be able to review and refine AI-driven tasks instead of relying on a "black box" system.
I realized that the future lies in seamless AI-human collaboration, where automation doesn’t just complete tasks but enhances strategic decision-making.
Final Design
