I maintain a tracker sheet where each row is a document (status, current revision, dates, owner, etc.). Rows get updated a lot, sometimes by hand, sometimes by a script that writes into the sheet.

What I want: for any given row, be able to click it and pull up that row's previous versions, and pick an earlier one from a dropdown (to view what it looked like before, and ideally roll a cell back). So the dropdown for row 12 shows only row 12's history, row 40 shows only row 40's, and so on.

Any one has done it? Or do I need to use sheets script for this?

First thing that comes when searching is cowork used directly in drives like one drive, corrupts the disk storage. Is that true? Can someone speak from experience?

Is there money to be made in document tracking where it is being processed back forth in email threads? Is there a TAM for a product that organizes docs based off ai summary and metadata and keeps track based off the project?

Can someone speak from experience? If so what industry do you work in?

Planning on building a RAG/chatbot that can retrieve both image and text from a data source for spare parts in an automobile shop.

The agent should verify its same part as the customers' variant.

i want a whatsapp agent that figures it out.

what it needs to do:

• rag over the parts catalogue - retrieve the right part number + the exploded diagram
• pull the customer's chassis number from zoho crm using just their phone number, so it pre-filters to their exact model before they say anything
• accept a photo of the broken part when they can't describe it
• whatsapp buttons + list replies for the narrowing questions
• log every resolved query so it learns which parts each model actually asks for over time

the fork i'm stuck on - full custom on whatsapp cloud api + n8n + supabase, or lean on a conversation builder like voiceflow for the front end and keep the brain separate.

leaning n8n-native because the learning loop needs dialog and logging tightly coupled, and that's exactly where a builder would fight me. but open to being told i'm overengineering it.

anyone built something similar? what would you reach for - and what bit you that you didn't see coming?

Been trying to figure out life lately. I wanted to get a job and move away from home in 2020 but as it turned out I started a marketing agency and did considerably well for a couple of years. Staying at home was driving me crazy.

2025- quit marketing and went into complete ai automation agency.
Realised that it’s hard to get clients for ai. Burned my balance and now I am broke.

What’s the path from here? I’ve never worked a job and I could really use the experience. Or just keep at it and sign a client for ai and automation. Even thought of offering free service to build out my experience. Anyone in the same boat?

I run an AI automation agency and right now the problem is I’m kind of dead in the water when it comes to finding clients consistently, and I’m realizing I probably need real-world experience working under people who already do this professionally.

I’m curious how the job market actually looks for automation-focused roles right now.

Not necessarily traditional software engineering, but more:

• AI workflow automation
• Outreach automation
• Lead gen systems
• CRM/process automations
• Sales automation
• AI agent workflows

I can learn fast and build things, but I don’t have the “official experience” companies usually ask for.

So I wanted to ask people already in this space:

• Are employers actually hiring for these kinds of roles?
• What titles should I even be searching for?
• Would companies take someone who has built systems/projects independently but hasn’t worked formally in-house yet?
• What skills actually matter most to get hired?

Trying to figure out whether this is a realistic path or if I’m aiming at something too niche right now.
