*1. Not everything needs AI.* Sometimes a simple workflow tool like n8n is more than enough to get the job done.
*2. The steps I thought were easy turned out to need AI the most.* A good example: sorting emails to find invoice requests. People don't write these emails the same way, so a basic rule can't catch them all. AI handles that much better.
*3. Don't try to build everything from scratch.* Use the tools you already have and just connect them together. It's faster and smarter. What's a boring, manual task that's been eating up your time? I'll build it for free in exchange for feedback
