AI for Everyday Automation

7 AI Workflows to Save Hours at Work Every Week

A practical guide to turning ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity into connected, repeatable workflows for communication, research, reporting, coordination, and data analysis.

The outcome

Move from occasional prompts to a working system

The book connects AI tools to the recurring work that consumes a professional week, then keeps a person in review before the output is used or sent.

01

Email

Triage a busy inbox, draft replies in batches, preserve voice, and keep sending under human control.

02

Meetings

Prepare briefs, turn transcripts into decisions and actions, and maintain the follow-up trail.

03

Research

Combine web and internal sources into structured briefs that distinguish source, synthesis, and uncertainty.

04

Documents

Turn rough notes and connected context into reports, proposals, memos, and first drafts for review.

05

Tasks and status

Extract actions from conversations, update trackers, and assemble recurring status reports.

06

Spreadsheets and reuse

Analyse messy data, reuse work across formats, and build a weekly rhythm around the workflows.

Who it is for

Professionals with too much coordination work

Product managers, consultants, team leads, analysts, operators, and small-team founders who already use AI occasionally but have not turned it into a repeatable part of the working day.

No programming is required. The reader installs and adapts Skills, connects tools where available, reviews the result, and measures whether the workflow actually returns useful time.

Companion resources

Installable Skills and templates

The companion repository contains the Skills, resource files, templates, diagrams, and build tooling used alongside the book.
