How to automate this
Workers want this gone, but today's tools only get part of the way. Automate the edges.
Routine communication
Template the repeatable parts, keep the human touch where it counts.
- 1Save your best messages as templates, so you never start from scratch when you provide technical guidance or support for the development or troubleshooting of systems.
- 2Auto-route and auto-respond to routine requests with rules.
- 3Draft with AI, then review and send it yourself.
