Recommended stack
Start with the lightest version that solves the job. Upgrade only when the workflow repeats and the cost is justified.
Workflow
- List the repeated task and how often it happens.
- Decide if the task needs judgment, data movement, or both.
- Start with a checklist if the process is unclear.
- Use no-code automation only for stable handoffs.
- Add AI only where summarization, classification, drafting, or routing improves speed.
