Start Here

Every builder starts somewhere. Here’s yours.

I’m Dheeraj, a software engineer turned AI systems builder. I spent 17 years creating content and the last year building the systems that make it scalable.

GenAI Unplugged is where I share what I build:

AI Systems that actually work,
AI Automation workflows for Claude Code, Cowork and n8n that save real hours and,
the honest process behind running a one-person AI-powered content business.

Pick your path below. Each one takes you from “I’m curious” to “I built this myself.”

New to AI Automation?

You’ve heard about Claude and AI assistants. Maybe you’ve played with ChatGPT. But you’re not sure how to go from “cool demo” to “this actually saves me time.”

Start here. No coding required.

Your 3-article path:

Claude Projects 101: Your First Custom AI Assistant → Build your first project from scratch. 15 minutes, zero prior experience.
How to Give Claude Your Brand Voice → Stop getting generic AI output. Train Claude to write like you.
My AI Research Assistant That Saves 5 Hours Per Client → See what a working AI system looks like in a real business.

Where you’ll be after: You’ll have a custom Claude assistant that sounds and writes like you and saves you real hours every week.

Keep going with: The full Claude Systems Masterclass (15 lessons - WIP, from basics to agentic workflows).

Already Using Claude?

You know what Claude can do. You’ve built a few projects. Now you want to connect the dots. You want to build systems where Claude, n8n, and your tools work together without you babysitting them.

Your 3-article path:

The AI Writing System That 3x’d My Content Output → How I turned a Claude project into a full production pipeline.
How to Connect AI Assistants to Your n8n Workflows → The bridge between “AI assistant” and “AI automation.”
From 3x to 10x: The Content Multiplication Engine → Scale from one-off projects to repeatable systems using Claude Code.

Where you’ll be after: You’ll know how to connect Claude to external tools and build workflows that run without you.

Keep going with: The PubFlow OS Agents series where I shared the 5 AI research agents I built live, with full code.

Want AI Agents or AI Workflows?

You know what automation can do. You want working templates, step-by-step tutorials, and real workflow patterns you can steal and modify.

Your 3-article path:

How to Connect AI Assistants to Your n8n Workflows → Get Claude and n8n talking to each other.
Stop Wasting 3 Hours Per Competitive Analysis → A real n8n + AI workflow that replaced a manual process.
The Agent That Replaced My $150/Month Competitor Analysis Tool → Build a full Claude Code AI research agent.

Where you’ll be after: You’ll have working n8n workflows connecting AI to real business processes.

Free course: The n8n AI Automation: Zero to Hero course has 42 free video lessons (31+ hours) and text lessons covering everything from n8n installation to enterprise patterns.

Looking for Tools?

You’re researching which tools are worth your money. You want to see what’s working for other builders before you invest.

Your 3-article path:

What 17 AI-First Creators Are Betting On for 2026 → The tool landscape, with honest assessments.
I Built a Native macOS Backup App in 2 Hours with Claude Code → What’s possible when AI meets a real coding project (and I’m not a Swift developer).
The 3-Day MVP: How I Built and Launched SubflowAI in 19 Days → The full build-in-public story: revenue, mistakes, and what I’d do differently.

Where you’ll be after: You’ll know which tools actually deliver ROI and which are hype.

Our tools:

SubflowAI → Schedule Substack Notes (Chrome extension, free trial)
Content OS Agents Toolkit → 5 AI research agents for Claude Code
n8n Mastery Bundle → Ebook + 15 workflow templates + 9 guides

How I Work (And What to Expect)

I publish 2-3 times per week. Every article includes:

Real systems I’ve built. Not unwanted theory, not “10 tips” listicles
Copy-paste prompts, templates and checklists you can use immediately
Step-by-step setup guides with troubleshooting sections
Honest assessments including what didn’t work

I don’t do hype. I don’t do “game-changing.” I build things, show you how they work, and let you decide if they’re useful.

Want the Full Setup?

GenAI Unplugged shows you what’s possible. PluggedIn shows you exactly how to build it.

The acoustic set is free. The studio session is PluggedIn.
