We built a contact enrichment pipeline for our Notion CRM using Apollo.io, HarvestAPI via Apify, and Zapier — for roughly $0–5/month. Here's the full architecture, the cost breakdown, and why CRM vendors charging $2–3K/year for the same capability is a broken model.
Lessons from building multi-turn AI agents across Zapier Agents, Notion Custom Agents, and Relevance AI — covering context window management, system prompt bloat, sub-agent trade-offs, and context rot.
When Meta's AI safety director lost 200 emails to a runaway agent, it wasn't a hack — it was context window compaction silently dropping her safety instruction. Here's why the future of automation is selectively agentic, and how to combine AI judgement with deterministic guardrails that actually hold.

How I built a content system using Notion, Zapier, Readwise, and AI agents that produces original writing at scale — without sounding like everyone else.
Five practical Notion Custom Agent use cases we've been building—from automated meeting prep to turning Slack chaos into trackable tasks.
