Most people talk about AI in the context of flashy features — code generation, image tools, marketing copy. But the real impact might be happening in the background.

We’ve been building TaxHero AI, where we use n8n + OpenAI to automate things like bookkeeping, categorization, and tax deadline tracking for early-stage startups.

It’s not glamorous — but the leverage is insane. AI doesn’t replace founders; it replaces the 80% of admin tasks that drag them down.

What I’m noticing: the boring stuff (compliance, ops, accounting) is finally becoming programmable.

Would love to hear what other founders or engineers are seeing in their own stacks. Is AI quietly taking over your “least exciting but most painful” work too?
