Lets talk about AUTOMATION in your businesses?

[Gypsy Soul]

I would like to know if anyone out there has sought out or implemented automation (simple automation, workflow automation, robotic process automation, software automation, cloud app automation, etc..) within your own business or for a customers business. I am curious to know what your experience has been with these technologies. I have been working the space for the last 3.5 years.

It has been my experience that some folks love, hate and even fear automation. What is your take?

Thank you.

I specialised in automation back in my IT days (15+ years ago). I wrote UNIX shell scripts to automate the management of systems and Oracle databases. I miss UNIX where everything is command line and text based.

Anyway, I recently got ChatGPT to write Google Ads Scripts for me (I don't know Javascript) and they're scheduled to run daily to export data from Google Ads into Google Sheets for each of our clients.

I'll see if ChapGPT can create Google Apps scripts to automate the creation of Google Drive folders and files whenever we onboard a new client, and maybe even to perform initial keyword and competitor research.

@uhhfeef does a lot of automation work.

There's other people creating AI Agents for businesses too.

You have an interesting background. I need to look into Google Apps scripts. I have not touched that at all. I'm currently building a self help desk application in Python. A collection of Python scripts that can help users fix IT issues through voice recognition commands given by the user. "Fix my computer" or "Why is my computer slow?" and the python application will run self checks and match the fix with pre-built python scripts I have living on the users local machine.

I am using ChatGPT to help me generate new python scripts & better ways at collecting event logs off users computers.

The only part that sucks is users need to enter sudo password in the input dialog. Lol
