Who it’s for

Owners, office managers and operations people who repeat the same tasks every week.

Adapt it to your industry

  • Restaurant: daily stock check and a supplier order list
  • Clinic or law office: intake forms summarized into a shared sheet
  • Agency: weekly client status updates drafted automatically

Step by step

  1. Pick one task you do every week and write each step you take, in order.
  2. Open ChatGPT, Claude or Grok, paste your list and the prompt below, and ask which steps an AI or automation can do.
  3. Create a free Zapier (zapier.com) or Make (make.com) account.
  4. Build the first automation: a trigger (new email, new form entry, new row) and one action (summarize, draft, add to sheet).
  5. Run it on 5 real examples and check every output by hand.
  6. Only after a week of correct results, let it run on its own, and keep a log sheet of what it did.

Ready-to-copy prompt
