Are you stuck doing repetitive, boring tasks that could easily be automated? In this episode, Aamir Qutub and co-host Davina Montgomery explore how AI-powered automation is freeing businesses from “robot work” and delivering measurable savings.
From sales pipelines and proposals to content creation and customer updates, they show how tools like Make and n8n let you build workflows that run themselves — without needing a coding team. Plus, we dig into the guardrails that keep automations safe, accurate, and human-friendly.
What’s inside:
- The difference between assistants and full automation (and why it matters)
- How to find your “top 3 hated tasks” and automate them first
- Tools to get started: Make, n8n, Whisper, GPT modules
- Real-world examples: CRM data entry, proposals, podcast repurposing
- Guardrails: logs, human-in-the-loop, and simple risk matrices
- Why automation isn’t job replacement — it’s job optimization
