AI Workflow Library for Solopreneurs
Curated library of pre-built AI automation templates for solopreneurs — install outcomes into Zapier, Make, or n8n without Zapier hell.
Solopreneurs do not fail at automation because they lack tools. They fail because they cannot decide what to automate. Zapier, Make, and n8n sit open in browser tabs while the founder doomscrolls template galleries full of "when new row in Sheets, post to Slack" recipes that have nothing to do with client onboarding or content repurposing. They buy another SaaS, connect two accounts, break a zap, and quietly return to copy-paste. Decision fatigue is the product. Non-technical coaches, consultants, and creators know they should automate contracts → folders → kickoff calls, or podcast → transcript → clips → newsletter. They do not know which of fifty templates is trustworthy, which apps they actually need, or how to recover when step three fails at midnight. Community forums (r/automation, r/nocode, Facebook "automate your workflow" groups) are full of the same confession: I spent the weekend in Zapier hell and still do it manually.
Built for Solo Founders, Weekend Builders.
Suggested stack: Next.js + Vercel, Postgres, Template pack format, Zapier Partner / Make / n8n, Claude, Stripe. Weekend scope: about 8 hours.

1. Project Setup
Build the weekend MVP of "FlowLibrary": a catalog of ready-made automations with a quiz that picks your top three and an install page that exports them. Stack: Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind, Supabase (Postgres, Row Level Security, Auth with email magic link), Claude (Anthropic API) for the quiz recommendations. Deploy on Vercel. Tables (Row Level Security on: templates are readable by everyone, quiz answers and installs by their owner): - templates(id, title, outcome, tags, apps_required, time_saved_hours, difficulty, export_targets, pack jsonb) where tags include onboarding, content, leads and ops - quiz_answers(id, user_id, answers jsonb, recommended jsonb, created_at) - installs(id, user_id, template_id, status, installed_at) Seed 10 hard-coded templates, including "Coach Client Onboarding" and "Podcast to Newsletter". Screens: / (the catalog), /quiz, /install/[id]. Env vars (names only): NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY (server only), ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. Do not build: billing, plans or marketplace payouts, an admin page to create packs, one-click installs through partner APIs, the AI variant builder, setup videos. Done when: npm run dev starts, you can sign in, and the three tables exist with Row Level Security on and ten templates seeded.
2. Core Feature
Build the one feature that proves FlowLibrary: from "I waste Sundays on onboarding" to an automation you can use. 1. The catalog lists templates with their tags and, for each, the outcome, apps required, hours saved and difficulty. 2. The quiz asks 5 questions (business type, weekly hours on admin, tools used, goal). Send the answers and the catalog to Claude and return the top 3 template ids with a one-line reason each. Save them to quiz_answers. 3. Each template's pack is JSON: { id, version, outcome, steps: [{ name, app, action, config }], exports: { n8n_json_url, make_blueprint_url, zapier_guide_md } }. 4. /install/[id] shows the connected-apps checklist, a Download n8n JSON button, and a step-by-step Zapier rebuild guide generated from steps[]. 5. Ship one full sample pack for client onboarding: Typeform, then a payment check, then a Google Drive folder, then a Notion client row, then a Calendly invite. Rules: recommend only templates that exist in the catalog. Empty state: before the quiz, show the catalog and a "Take the 2-minute quiz" button. Done when: the quiz returns three real templates with reasons, the sample pack downloads as valid n8n JSON, and the Zapier guide lists every step.3. Landing Page
Build a one-page landing site for FlowLibrary, ready-made automations for solopreneurs. Headline: "Automation without the Zapier rabbit hole." Sub: "Pick the outcome. Install the workflow into Zapier, Make or n8n." One button: Join the waitlist. Sections: the problem (hours lost to admin and a tool you never finish setting up), how it works in five steps (outcome quiz, preview the flow, one-click install or export, a dashboard of active workflows, bundles for your kind of business), and a sample template card with its step map. Waitlist: store the email in a waitlist table in Supabase. No other service. Voice: plain and practical, written for a one-person business. Done when: the page renders on a phone and a submitted email appears in the waitlist table.
4. Branding Package
Use a design or image tool for this one. A coding agent cannot draw a logo. Brand for FlowLibrary: a wordmark and an icon that suggest a shelf of connected steps. Colors: warm off-white, deep ink and one friendly accent. Type: one readable sans for the interface and a mono for step names. Deliverables: wordmark, icon, a template-card style with a step map, and one launch graphic. Done when: each deliverable is saved in one folder and the icon reads at 32 px.
