Moving the same info from one app to another. Typical: about 3 hours a person a week. AI could take roughly 50% (illustrative).

5 steps

    Write down the trigger: what happens first?

  2. 2

    Write down the action: where should the info land?

  3. 3

    Build one automation for that pair.

  4. 4

    Add an alert if it fails.

  5. 5

    Review it monthly.
