Automation and AI agents
How AI removes routine and works for you.
ChatGPT answers questions. AI agent - collects data, analyzes, generates, sends. Without your participation. If you spend more than 2 hours a week on a repetitive task, it can be automated.
3 tasks that I will automate first
Collecting brand mentions from Telegram channels, VK, reviews on Yandex.Maps in Google Sheets once a day. Previously, 30 minutes a day for manual collection. Now - 0. n8n + Claude API.
Collecting data from Yandex Direct, VK Ads, Telegram Ads → summary in Google Sheets → generating report text via Claude → sending to Telegram. 3 hours of manual work became 5 minutes of testing.
Telegram bot + Claude, which answers 78% of questions without human intervention. The remaining 22% is sent to me. Setup - 2 hours. Savings - 10+ hours per week.
What to automate first?
Which task makes the most sense to automate first?
Where to start
Which is repeated weekly, takes >30 minutes and is done according to instructions.
Write down step by step what you are doing. Every step is a potential automation block.
What steps can AI take (reading, analyzing, generating). Which ones are only human (statement, creativity).
Connect the blocks with triggers. Launch it. Check it out. Repeat.
Try it yourself
Describe the task you want to automate - AI will write it down into steps for n8n or Make.
AI answers are free, but limited by the overall site limit. If the limit is reached, come back later: repeated clicks will not speed up the response.
Analyze the problem I describe and answer the questions: 1. Which steps can be fully automated (AI + tools)? 2. Which steps require human intervention? 3. Which tool is best (n8n, Make, Claude Code, Python)? 4. How long will it take to set up? 5. When will it pay off? Task: [describe the task]
