Three Tasks Founders Should Automate with AI
- AI assistants can significantly reduce operational costs
- Automating tasks allows founders to focus on strategic decisions
- Clear processes are crucial for effective AI integration
One week ago, I set up my first AI assistant, and I want to share the initial tasks I delegated to her. Communicating through voice messages on Telegram, she navigates platforms like Slack, Gmail, CRM, ATS, and Notion, analyzing financial spreadsheets and call transcriptions. Essentially, she performs the work of a dedicated assistant that would typically cost $1,000 a month, but her subscription is only $100.
However, there’s a catch. The effectiveness of this tool isn’t due to magic but rather the presence of well-defined tasks that can be outlined step-by-step. Here are three processes that any founder can automate right now.
1. Analyst: Get Business Insights in One Message
One of the biggest challenges founders face is obtaining a clear overview of their business. Financial data is scattered across spreadsheets, vacancies are tracked in ATS, and leads populate the CRM system. To piece together an accurate understanding of the situation, one must open multiple tabs, scroll through dozens of rows, and mentally compile the information, a process that often takes up to an hour—something founders typically do not do often.
