AI Workflow Automation

Automate your everyday tasks with AI

Turn repetitive work into workflows you can run againโ€”with Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, and the tools you already use.

Bring a task you keep doing by hand. Weโ€™ll map the steps, build a small working version, and test what should be automated and what still needs your review.

Free 15-minute consultation. Coaching scope and price agreed before booking.

One task. A repeatable process.

Start with the work, not the tool

โ€œEvery week I combine exports, check the numbers, and write the same report. How can I stop rebuilding it from scratch?โ€

INPUT

Approved files, a repeatable format, and clear rules.

WORKFLOW

Check the data, prepare the output, and flag exceptions.

REVIEW

You check the result before it is shared or acted on.

Illustrative workflowโ€”not a client result or a promised time saving.

Which task keeps taking up your time?

Start with something frequent, clearly defined, and easy to check. These are possible learning exercises; suitability depends on your files, permissions, and current tools.

Files and documents

Organize downloads, rename batches of files, or prepare documents from approved source material. Preview proposed changes first and keep the originals.

Reports and spreadsheets

Combine recurring exports, flag missing or duplicate records, calculate totals, and prepare a draft summary. Use fixed rules for the calculations and review the commentary.

Routine business admin

Turn approved notes into action lists, prepare recurring project updates, or draft follow-ups. Keep the source attached and review before sending or changing shared records.

Example: your recurring report

An illustrative exercise using permitted CSV exports. The aim is a draft you can verifyโ€”not a report that hides problems or sends itself without approval.

Today: repeat the same preparation

Download the approved exports and collect them in a folder.

Copy rows together and try to spot missing or repeated entries.

Recalculate the same totals and reformat the report.

Write a summary, check it, and send it manually.

A pilot: prepare, flag, and review

Run the workflow on copies. It checks expected columns, applies agreed duplicate rules, calculates totals, and saves a draft report plus an exception list. The original exports stay unchanged.

Review flagged records and the summary against the source. Only then decide whether to share it. If inputs change or a check fails, stop and report the problem. A recurring schedule comes after a successful repeatable test.

From a manual task to a repeatable workflow

Work through one useful process with Dejan, using examples you are permitted to share. The goal is something you can understand, check, and run again.

01

Map the task you do now

Show the input, the steps you repeat, and a correct finished example. Identify how often it happens, which decisions need judgement, and what must never change.

02

Build a small first version

Choose the simplest suitable tool. Use sample data or copies, define the output, and add a preview or draft step before enabling changes to real files or systems.

03

Test the awkward cases

Try missing inputs, duplicates, a changed file format, and an interrupted run. Check totals against the source. Flag problems instead of silently inventing values or producing a misleading result.

04

Make the next run manageable

Save the instructions, setup, and checks. Decide who reviews results and how to pause or recover. Test repeated runs before adding a schedule, and avoid creating duplicate outputs or actions.

Keep a short operating guide: where the inputs go, how to start the workflow, what a correct result looks like, and what to do when it fails. Compare the actual time and review effort with your original process.

Choose the right tool for the task

We start with your existing workflowโ€”not a requirement to buy every AI subscription. Sometimes a small script or your appโ€™s built-in automation is enough.

Codex for scripts and repeatable work

Use Codex to help write, test, and refine a script for a clearly defined task, such as validating CSV exports or preparing files. Review the changes and commands within an approved project before running them on real work.

ChatGPT for information and task workflows

Practise turning permitted source material into structured notes, reports, and drafts. For recurring work, check whether Scheduled and the required connected apps are available. Connecting an app does not automatically create a working automation.

Claude Code for custom workflows

Explore scripts and small utilities with Claude Code. Inspect files, follow changes, run checks, and investigate errors. Agree on the input, output, and limits before letting a coding tool modify your project.

Claude for supported work tasks

Explore document and connected-app workflows with Claude, including Cowork where available. Confirm the required access and whether the task depends on local files or cloud connections. Start with low-risk outputs you can review.

Keep fixed rules predictable

Use code or existing app rules for exact calculations, naming formats, and duplicate checks. Add AI where interpretation is useful, such as drafting a summary. Not every step needs an agent.

Decide where it runs

A workflow you start yourself, a scheduled run, and an app-triggered action are different setups. Confirm the runtime, permissions, source access, and failure notifications before relying on unattended work.

AI automation questions

What can run automatically, where Codex fits, and what should stay under your control.

What is AI workflow automation?

Can Codex help automate tasks outside app development?

Do I need coding experience?

Will the workflow run when my computer is off?

Does every step need an AI agent?

How do we protect company or client information?

Will it send messages, delete files, or change live records?

Is this training or a done-for-you automation service?

What affects the price and what should I bring?
