Designing an AI-Powered Automation System

by Jeff Humble

Dear Reader,

This week, I want to share something I use behind the scenes.

I want to share something very nerdy that I've been working on 🤓

It's an automation system that I'm using to experiment with AI.

If you've ever used a tool like Zapier, then you might like this sort of thing.

I built it with Discord and Activepieces, and it's completely free. It looks like this:

Here are some of the use cases:

• Work Automation - a productivity tool for solopreneurs, freelancers, or anyone who wants to manage their work outside of email
• Research Operations - a dedicated space to manage all of your interview scheduling, feedback forms, and continuous discovery
• Tracking Projects - a dedicated channel to get everyone on your team or project involved where you can track progress or metrics
• Community Hub - a dedicated platform for a specific craft or group that can share updates, tasks, and culture

If you've been having AI anxiety, I can tell you from personal experience fiddling with tools and automating stuff will make you feel better.

And becoming the automation expert at your company certainly won't hurt your career!

This AI tool called Relume is gaining popularity. It's interesting because it does for wireframing what Uizard does for high-fidelity mockups. With a simple prompt, you can generate a wireframe that will export into Figma or Webflow.

Every aspect of the product design process seems to be slowly getting a dedicated AI tool. What do you think? Would you use a prompt-based AI tool to generate a wireframe or a sitemap?

Until next time! ✌️🤖
