Collin knows his stuff and executes like a beast.

Phillip RiversGrowthPointe · Dec 2025 · LinkedIn review

I worked with Collin Gates on several AI projects and highly recommend him. Despite different time zones, he was always reliable and delivered high-quality results on time. He quickly understood complex tasks, communicated clearly, and worked in a structured, solution-oriented way. In multiple cases, he even improved the original ideas.

Collin is just ridiculously good. Truly spectacular freelancer. He built two AI agents for us that are just awesome. We thought they we're going to take twice as long and be half as good as what he was able to do. If you need help building AI agents, or anything AI, he gets my absolute top rating. Can't recommend him highly enough. My goal is to get enough revenue to hire him full time, which should tell you what you need to know.

Collin really is incredible. Look at my last review. This guy just built another killer n8n vertical AI SaaS for me that I think has massive B2B potential. I wish I had the money to hire him to just work for me only. Maybe if this app hits I can. But I can tell you he's gold if you're looking to build anything AI and automations, n8n, flowise, anything like that.

Collin was extremely attentive to what I needed and helped work through the different pieces of software, making sure they were set up. He was capable of solving issues across multiple different automation tools, suggested some that were better for me, and helped work with my current setup. I'm hoping to continue working with Collin to streamline my business and workflows.
