AI AUTOMATION
PLAYBOOK

5 steps to automate any business process with AI. No code required.

01

STEP 01

FIND THE BOTTLENECK

Every business has one process that eats 80% of the time. Customer support tickets, lead qualification, invoice processing, meeting scheduling. Find it. That's where AI goes first.

Action

List your team's top 5 time sinks. Pick the one with the most repetition.

02

STEP 02

BUILD THE TRIGGER

Every automation starts with a trigger: a new email, a form submission, a scheduled time, a Slack message. No trigger = no automation. Define what kicks off the workflow before you build anything.

Action

Write it as: 'When [X happens], the system should [do Y].'

03

STEP 03

ADD THE AI LAYER

The AI sits between the trigger and the action. It reads, summarizes, classifies, generates, or decides. Don't use AI to do everything — use it for the step that requires judgment.

Action

Choose one AI task: classify, summarize, generate, or extract.

04

STEP 04

DELIVER THE OUTPUT

The result needs to land somewhere useful: Slack, email, a database, a dashboard. If the output sits in a file nobody checks, the automation is dead.

Action

Pick the channel your team already checks 10x/day. That's where it goes.

05

STEP 05

SCHEDULE AND FORGET

Cron jobs, webhooks, or event listeners. The automation should run without you touching it. If you have to manually trigger it, it's a script — not an automation.

Action

Set up a daily/hourly schedule or a webhook trigger. Test it. Walk away.
