Show HN: I built an AI that automates my entire freelancing business–now what?

I was tired of repetitive client work—proposal writing, emailing, lead-gen, chasing payments—so I built an AI-driven system that automates all of it.

My system handles:

    - Lead sourcing and qualification
    - Proposal generation (customized, human-quality RFP responses)
    - Invoicing and follow-ups
    - Even basic client communications via email/chat automation

Now I'm spending almost no time on routine business tasks.

But here's the twist: I’m getting restless. This thing freed up so much of my time that I'm not even sure what to do next.

I'd love some feedback—has anyone else automated themselves out of their job? What did you do afterward?

Nothing. Relaxing start new hobbies etc. Once you feel maximally relaxed new projects come from alone, at least that's how it's for me.

Doing less and fun things make me ultimately more productive
