AI automation: flows that run themselves
Let the machine do the repetitive work: flows, shortcuts, and clipboard.
Direct answer: No-code automation platforms (n8n, Huginn, Activepieces, Automatisch) with desktop utilities (CopyQ, Espanso) and MCP servers and skills to orchestrate them from the assistant, including AppleScript for macOS. It is the multiplier: it turns repetitive hours into flows that run on their own.
Included in the Pro — $30
