𝐖𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐭, 𝐏𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧! 🇵🇰🚀 After months of planning and coordination, 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐏𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 became a reality! The past few weeks were quite a grindset as we worked with NotionHQ, our incredible partners, speakers, and campus leaders to bring the first-ever Beyond Make With Notion event to the region. And we pulled it off! 🙌 As an extension of Notion's flagship Make With Notion conference, our focus was highlighting all that's now possible with Notion in 2025: 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝟑.𝟎, 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞, 𝐌𝐂𝐏 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 etc. But more than that, it was about showcasing the builders in our own Pakistani Notion community who are quietly creating incredible solutions with Notion. The format was different this time from our usual events. We heard the feedback: show us how to actually build these things. So we did. Live builds, hands-on workflows, actual use cases, all centered around Notion. Zaid H. demoed how he created an entire ATS automation workflow for hiring when he was at Sadapay (you finally got to see what was behind those rejections 😭). Sana Naqvi from Product People showed how to turn Notion into a super practical hiring hub. Awais Kamran deep dived into how developers can integrate Notion MCP into the AI ecosystem. I kicked things off with a session on Context Engineering and making Notion Agent work for you (more on that in another post 😄) But the real highlights were those spontaneous moments of engagement with the attendees, finding that Kumail Halai traveled all the way from Lahore just to attend the event, seeing Notion campus leaders Rohail Iqbal, Danyal Ejaz, and Haziqa Khan show up and be part of the energy, builders from Cursor Community Pakistan, Friends of Figma, Islamabad, and product communities network and share ideas. That's what makes community events worth it. Heartfelt thanks to my incredible team that made this happen Usman Aslam 👑, Maryam U., Anam, Hadia, Saliha S., Shakir, Hassaan, Usman K. and Bilal. you all prove repeatedly that a small committed team can pull off something extraordinary! 💪 Special thanks to Emma Yee Yick, and Samuel Li from Notion for the backend support and trust in our vision. 🙏 Big appreciation to Daftarkhwan Alpha for hosting us and to all our partners and supporters who made this possible. Lastly, a massive massive thank you to everyone who showed up, you all brought the energy and curiosity that makes this community what it is. 🥳 And we hear your feedback loud and clear, more events from Notion Pakistan are coming soon, stay tuned! 🇵🇰 #Notion #MakeWithNotion #BeyondMakeWithNotion #Pakistan

Reimagining how people work 🏎️ At Overdrive, our mission is to unlock one million hours for human innovation — removing the mundane and repetitive tasks to focus on what matters the most. This Halloween in Prague, our Pit Crew joined forces with n8n, Apify, and Leadspicker to conjure the future of work — where automation becomes alchemy and human creativity enters overdrive. 🎃 We believe the real magic happens when humans and machines move as one — turning haunted workflows into high-performance systems built for clarity, speed, and imagination. Because the future of work doesn’t need saving —it just needs to be built differently. Big thanks to Apify for opening their lair of innovation and to n8n for fueling this global movement. ⛽️

What do you use to sharpen your prompts? AI assistants built into new browsers are opening a whole new wave of possibilities 🌐 One of my favourite use cases is refining prompts on the fly while building Agents, Chains, and AI nodes in n8n. No more copy-paste loops between chats. The feedback cycle becomes instant, and iteration moves at full speed to save time ⌛ We will see even more of this in the future with tools like the n8n Workflow Builder and Atlas from OpenAI In the video below, you can see how I ask Comet from Perplexity to review my prompt for a simple n8n AI Agent and help me enhance it. It works great for System and User prompts, and even Tool descriptions for complex workflows. I still believe humans should stay in the loop. Fully relying on AI to write and improve prompts can create a lot of mistakes. The best approach for me is to mix both If you want to be involved in more discussions about better promoting and the role of humans in AI systems, comment PROMPT below and I will send you a link to join our Overdrive community 👇🏼

We did it. One of Canada’s Top Young Entrepreneurs of the Year. 🇨🇦🏎️ But this award isn’t truly mine. It belongs to the incredible team at Overdrive our partners, and the clients who’ve trusted us since day one. They’re the ones who make the impossible happen - every single day. And honestly - I didn’t think I was going to win. Not because we don’t deserve it, but because there are so many other fantastic entrepreneurs. I thought Jessica Nguyen would take it home (and she has earned just as much for her journey). We’ve still got a lot of work to do, and this is just our first lap🏎️ Thanks to League of Innovators Accelerator Manitoba Innovates for putting together this excellent ceremony. Joel Hansen Rob Ironside Kallisté Grissa and the rest of the LOI team worked overtime to organize the event and bring great speakers Jake Karls Mike Fata Jennah Dohms Congratulations to every other finalist too Ankur Boyed Boardy Annika Ng Blossom Social James Quinn Larry's Catch Francesca Albo You are Canada’s future. You show that Canada has potential. 📷 Josh Bruneski / @Overtime Marketing
