How to automate this
Low priority to automate, but here is the gist if you want to try.
Creative & strategic work
Hard to fully automate. Use AI as a fast first draft, not the final word.
- 1Use AI to generate options and rough drafts when you expand or modify system to serve new purposes or improve work flow, then shape them yourself.
- 2Keep templates and swipe files so you start faster.
- 3Automate the production steps around the creative core, not the core itself.
