Practical · Platform-Neutral · Ten Working Builds
Automate The Work You Do Twice
Ten AI automations you build yourself, in a shape that keeps working: a trigger, your own data, an AI step, a decision, an action and a record. On whichever platform you already have.
Make, Zapier or n8n · No coding · Instant digital access


The Question This Book Answers Is Not Can It. It Is Should It.
AI tools produce confident, fluent, incorrect output with no signal that anything is wrong. So every automation in this book states, before you build it, exactly what it is allowed to do without you.
- Level One assists: it drafts, you send
- Level Two acts, but only after you approve
- Level Three runs unattended, and you find out afterwards
- Four written conditions before any job moves up a level, and a list of things that never do
All Three Platforms, So You Can Choose
Most books pick one tool and hope you agree. This one explains Make, Zapier and n8n on their real trade-offs, then gives you the same ten builds click-by-click on each, so you can decide which is cheaper and which is more professional for your business.
- MakeVisual, generous free tier, and the easiest to see what an automation is doing. The usual starting point.
- ZapierThe widest app support by a distance. If a service connects to anything, it connects to this.
- n8nSelf-hostable and the cheapest at volume, with more setup to do first.
The click-paths live in a dated companion PDF, not in the book. Interfaces change; the shapes do not.
Ten Builds, Each With Its Level Stated Before You Start
Every one is a job a small business genuinely repeats. Each chapter states the level, tells you what to test, and lists what usually goes wrong.
Every enquiry arrives with a draft reply already written, grounded in answers you approved. You read it and send it.
A new lead is categorised, added to your pipeline and given a follow-up with a date on it. Complaints route to you, never to a template.
A month of feedback arrives sorted by what you would do about it, with the outlier nobody else would have spotted quoted in full.

The Part Nobody Plans For
A broken automation is silent. Part Three is about finding out within a day instead of a month.
- One pageEvery automation writes one line every time it runs, so an absence becomes visible
- PromotionFour conditions before a job runs unattended, and what should make you put the gate back
- FailureThe five failures you will actually have, and a diagnosis order that finds them in five minutes
- CostTwo meters, three surprise bills, and a five-minute monthly review
- DataWhere your customers' information now sits, and how to send less of it
Who It Is For
- You run a small business and do the same tasks every week
- You have tried an AI tool and liked it, but nothing stuck
- You want the work done without hiring anyone
- You are the person who would have to fix it when it breaks
- You want to know what something costs before you build it
- You would rather understand a shape than memorise a screen
