The idea

The useful automation is not always the most complicated one. Often it is just the missing connection between a repeated task and the information needed to complete it.

Why I built it

Repeated work is usually not difficult; it is just easy to forget, copy incorrectly, or leave for later. Small automations make the boring parts more dependable.

How it works

Each workflow starts with the manual steps: what triggers it, where the information lives, and what a successful outcome looks like.

Things that broke

The useful failures here are still being collected. Each one should explain the problem, not just show the finished workflow.

What I learned

Good automation leaves people with more context, not less control.

What’s next

Document the workflows that turn out to be useful beyond the first experiment.
