Map a weekly task so it can be automated
I'll describe a task I repeat every week. Ask me questions until you fully understand every step, then map it out as a clear process (inputs, steps, decisions, outputs) and point out exactly which parts an AI agent could take off my plate first.- Name the task and roughly how long it takes you each week.
- Answer its questions in plain language, one step at a time.
- Start automating the step it flags as the biggest time-saver.
Audit where my week actually goes
Here's everything I did this week (I'll paste it). Sort it into work that grows the business, work that just keeps it running, and work someone or something else should be doing. Then tell me the one thing I should stop doing on Monday.- Paste a rough log of your week, or dump your calendar and to-do list.
- Read the three buckets it sorts your work into.
- Act on the one thing it says to stop doing.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of tasks can AI actually automate?
Anything repetitive with clear inputs and outputs: sorting leads, drafting replies, pulling reports, formatting data. These prompts help you spot which of your tasks qualify.
Do I need to be technical to automate a process?
No. You describe the task in plain words; the AI maps it and tells you which parts a tool like Claude Code can handle. Setup is copy-paste.
Want this built into your business?
Copy-paste is the start. The leverage is an AI agent set up around your real operation, your data and your workflow.
