n8n just launched a natural language builder, and your technical skills are officially commoditized. 📉 We're revealing the 3 new "business moats" you must build to survive the coming price collapse.

We’ll talk about:

• The "Great Commoditization": how natural language builders are destroying the technical barrier to entry for AI automation.
• Skill #1: Problem Discovery—why the ability to ask probing questions and uncover expensive, hidden pains is now worth more than building the bot.
• Skill #2: Demand Generation—moving beyond generic offers to picking one expensive problem and becoming the "go-to" expert for it.
• Skill #3: Systems Thinking—evolving from isolated workflows to engineering complete, end-to-end business systems that account for human behavior.
• Plus, the HVAC case study: how understanding the real business problem (tech driving time) generated $1M+ in revenue with a simple, non-AI solution.
