I’ve been using AI to automate my own repetitive work for 2 years, here’s what actually works
For the past 2 years, I’ve been deep into AI tools and automation in day-to-day work. The biggest thing I’ve learned: most people don’t need “AI strategy,” they just need 2–3 boring tasks automated. Examples I’ve automated for myself and clients: finding people who are going to an event and scraping their LinkedIn; auto-drafting follow-up emails after sales calls; making charts from Excel data for bosses; building an agent to critique my work before I send it; sorting inbound leads based on intent. None of this is flashy, but it saves hours every week.
