Ehsan's Recommendation
Contrarian take: you do not need a bigger team. You need smarter connections between ai chat and automation tools. With Microsoft Copilot feeding into n8n, you remove the biggest friction point in most project management workflows. Track before-and-after metrics obsessively. That data becomes your case for expansion.
