Most small business owners are still doing everything manually. Here are 5 automations that take 30 minutes to set up and save 10+ hours per week:

1. AI Customer Support Bot — Train a chatbot on your FAQ docs. It handles 80% of support tickets before a human ever sees them.

2. Automated Lead Follow-Up — When someone fills out a form, AI drafts a personalized follow-up email and sends it within 2 minutes. Response rates go up 3x.

3. Content Repurposing Pipeline — Record one video → AI turns it into a blog post, 5 social media clips, and an email newsletter. One piece of content becomes 8.

4. Invoice & Expense Categorization — Connect your email, AI scans attachments, auto-categorizes expenses, flags anything unusual. Bookkeeping on autopilot.

5. Meeting Notes → Action Items — AI joins your calls, transcribes everything, pulls out action items, and drops them into your project management tool.

These aren't future tech. People are running all of these today.

I share the exact workflows, prompts, and tools to set these up inside AutomateHQ. New automations every week.
