Prompt

Help me identify repetitive tasks in my work or business that may be suitable for automation. I will describe the work my team or I repeat. For each task, assess: - how often it happens; - how consistent the steps are; - whether inputs are structured or predictable; - whether rules are clear; - amount of human judgement required; - consequences of an error; - sensitivity of the data involved; - whether a human approval point is important. Classify each task as: - Good candidate to explore - Possible candidate with human review - Poor candidate for automation - Need more information Explain the reasoning in plain English. Then suggest what I should measure or document before deciding whether automation is worthwhile, such as time spent, volume, error rate or common exceptions. Important boundary: - Do not design the automation. - Do not give Make, Zapier, n8n, API or agent implementation steps. - Do not recommend automating high-stakes judgement merely because it repeats. - Flag privacy/security considerations where sensitive information is involved.
