3. Lead Qualification

Form submitted → AI scores lead based on criteria → High-value leads get immediate notification → Low-value leads enter nurture sequence

4. Meeting Follow-up

Meeting ends → AI transcription generates summary → Action items extracted → Tasks created in project management tool

5. Customer Feedback Analysis

Getting Started

1. List your top 5 most repetitive tasks 2. Choose one that is clearly defined and has measurable impact 3. Build a simple automation (start with 2-3 steps) 4. Test with real data 5. Expand and add AI decision-making 6. Monitor and refine

Start simple, prove value, then scale. The most successful automations solve real pain points rather than automating for the sake of it.
