picked up mike alamillo’s “automation vault” when it hit my feed. promised full backend systems with ai-integrated flowcharts. what i got was a Notion doc and a bunch of Zapier chains labeled “business in a box.”

his whole aesthetic is mid-level consultant energy. big flowcharts, zero architecture. i watched his AI funnel vid — it was a static email responder with a smiley face.
