Automation
Using technology to handle repetitive tasks without human intervention, freeing you up for strategic work.
What is Automation?
Automation is using technology to handle repetitive tasks without human intervention.
It ranges from simple rules (like auto-forwarding emails) to complex systems (like AI agents that handle customer support). Business process automation (BPA) tackles entire workflows, while robotic process automation (RPA) mimics human actions in software.
Most builders start by automating their own busywork first. Connect Zapier to sync data between tools, use Make for visual workflows, or build custom scripts. The goal is spending less time on routine tasks and more time building features customers actually want.
Free tiers exist for most automation platforms. Paid plans start around $20/month and scale with usage.
