Fundamentals
When automation adds value.
Not every task deserves automation. The best candidates are repetitive, rule-based work that humans don't enjoy and where mistakes are costly. Common patterns: data entry, scheduling, filtering, and status updates.
“Automation should handle the boring so humans can handle the important.”
