AI Automation — Agency-Sized Budgets

A quality-biased AI automation search sized for agency capacity. The budget floor is set high, an explicit n8n exclusion keeps the feed focused on bespoke engineering over templated low-code work, and the keyword matches across title, description, and skills so nothing slips past.

Who this is for

AI automation agencies looking for retainers and larger engagements — you want fewer, higher-value leads, not a flood of $500 gigs.

Configuration breakdown

The filters that matter most in this search, in plain English.

  • budget.hourlyRate.min$100/hr

    Premium floor. Anything below this is filtered out, so you only see clients who are already pricing for senior talent.

  • budget.fixedPrice$9,000 – $10,000

    Narrow fixed-price band targeting ~$10k projects — typical agency first-engagement size.

  • excludeKeywords.keywords["n8n"]

    Explicitly excludes n8n across title, description, and skills. Keeps the feed focused on custom engineering rather than low-code workflow templating.

  • includeKeywordsmatchTitle + matchDescription + matchSkills

    The include match is wider than usual — "automation" has to appear somewhere, but not in a specific field. Maximizes recall at this premium tier.

  • searchPeriod2 months

    Looks two months back rather than a day or two. Agency-sized deals do not post daily, so a longer window is needed to build a decent pipeline.
