Is it better to be a founder, freelancer or employee? (Personally for you)

I'll be honest I've never liked the feeling that someone "owns" me.

So being employed was very distant to me. [As if I had no power over my income.]

What are some overpriced SaaS tools packed with features you don’t need but still have to pay for?

Just checking what SaaS tools you think have become overpriced because they are packed with features most users don t actually need.

Not necessarily bad products. More like tools where the core feature is useful, but the product has grown into a much bigger package, and the pricing now reflects all the extra stuff around it. Perhaps most users only need the core features, but the product makes you pay for a full suite with integrations, AI, this and that.
For example, some people think Photoshop is too much and switch to Canva instead.
What do you think? And how can founder create the next Canva from our discussion?

What do you want to automate with CraftBot?

Whether you are running a team, a small business, or an individual brand, are there any manual tasks that are wasting your time or requiring headcount to handle? If so, you can consider using CraftBot to automate them for you.

In our team, CraftBot has already taken over 30% of the manual workload, and we are still working to improve it further to the point where it can handle at least 70% of computer-based tasks.
Here are some of our use cases:
Team directory management: CraftBot helps us organize our team folder on GDrive. All we have to do is upload files into a temporary folder, where they are transferred, categorized, and sorted. CraftBot manages an MD file as an index when needed to retrieve data for us.
PM work: CraftBot helps us crawl issues in our GitHub repo and put them into a requirements page in Notion. Then, it keeps track of progress every day at 7 AM and 5 PM JST. No more copying and pasting one by one for me.
Lead sourcing: It helps us research leads that fit given requirements and compile a report of their contact information, reasons why they qualify, and more. Then, I reach out to the leads personally. (as people can sniff out AI and sometimes reject it) But of course, outreach can easily be automated using CraftBot with app integrations and channels.
These are just some of our own use-cases. I would love to hear yours and discuss how CraftBot can help you save time and cost, and create value for you and your team. Please leave a comment below!
