For the past few months I’ve been building some automations - some of the use AI but many don’t - and I’m just super passionate about automation.

I have started a business called ObserveAutomation to provide automation/AI strategy and services to customers in the UK, helping people out with my automation/AI skills and systems.

I share here some of the work I’ve been doing with a focus on showing how it delivers value. There are few slightly technical bits to show how the result were achieved.

Voice Receptionist

Can’t get away from something when a call comes through? Are your risking losing customers?

Maybe all the caller wanted was your opening hours or maybe just to book an appointment.

I hate book-keeping

To me, one of the most tedious aspects of running is a business is entering invoices/receipts/expenses into the accounting system and staying accurate.

It’s a slow, time-consuming manual process that is error-prone. Automation and AI (for intent and data extraction) can save around 10 minutes per invoice and improve your accuracy.

Availability Finder

Finding slots for a meeting can, depending on the week, be challenging.

This workflow pulls calendar entries from Google Calendar and determines what slots are available.

Scanning pallets of books!

A local entrepreneur friend of mine buys books by the pallet and then resells them - sounds easy, right?

A frustration he has is the time it takes to gather the information about each book (ISBN, author, synopsis etc.). He needs to get this into his inventory system.

This problem is ripe for an automation which will bring his data entry down to minutes rather than hours per pallet.

Job Search Optimisation automation using n8n

Using my n8n automation skills and my knowledge of GenAI, I built some automations to save time and focus my job search. The first automation saves me around 2 to 3 hours of reading job roles every day.

Searching for roles can be very time-consuming especially when the job title you’re searching for is a common one which applies to a wide variety of domains as is the case for my job title.

Auto-labelling emails using AI and n8n

I spend too long every day labelling (or categorising, if you prefer) the many emails I receive. There has to be a better way!

An automation could automatically read my emails and decide how to label them for me… and more
