Core Concepts of Workflows

Workflow Thinking

• Break any project into steps: Input → Processing → Output.

• Decide when to keep it simple (one AI, one task) vs when to combine tools.

• Focus on flow, not perfection — AI thrives in iteration.

Automation Basics

• Zapier / Make: Connect AIs with tools you already use (Google Docs, Slack, email).

• Native Integrations: Many AIs already link directly to apps like Notion, Trello, or Gmail.

• Rule of Thumb: Automate repetitive tasks, but keep human control over creative or sensitive decisions.
