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.

  1. 1Use AI to generate options and rough drafts, then shape them yourself.
  2. 2Keep templates and swipe files so you start faster.
  3. 3Automate the production steps around the creative core, not the core itself.
