Added: * error alerts * simple logging * daily glance check Zero surprises since.

Don’t start with “AI”. Start with a boring workflow. Ask:“What would I do manually if AI didn’t exist?” Then automate that. Simple example: - If form is submitted - Then clean the data - Then generate a short summary - Then save it somewhere Make.com handles: - the order - the rules - the failure cases AI just helps with one step. When I tried to design “smart AI systems” first, everything broke.When I designed clear workflows first, AI became easy to add. Hope this helps someone who’s feeling overwhelmed by tools.

What worked for me: 1. Explain the logic first. 2. AI second. 3. Show the boring parts it replaces. Way fewer confused conversations since.

I simplified mine last week: 1. One automation tool. 2. One database. 3. AI only for boring cognitive work. Fewer tools, fewer bugs, way less stress. Curious how others are handling this.
