The most exciting thing happening right now? The combination of (API) automation and AI.

Tools like Zapier and make.com have made it easier to access the API layer of the internet for years.

In case you don’t know, APIs are the behind-the-scenes access points that allow digital platforms to connect with each other. For example, if you wanted a list of all your YouTube videos, it’s far easier to use the YouTube API than to manually scrape them one by one.

Power users have been using APIs forever, but for the average person? Automating mundane tasks has had its limits in practical utility.

But now? Many of the processes that waste your time can be automated with these tools plus the added layer of AI to make them even more powerful and robust.

What if you want to automatically download all invoices from a gmail account, sort them, rename them based on the content, and organize them into a single folder?

What if you want to automatically log every sales call, determine the sentiment, update the prospect’s database dynamically with the information of that call (including their attitude), so you never need to take sales notes again?

These things are here right now with the combination of make.com and ChatGPT.

If there’s one exciting thing about today’s moment in AI evolution, this is it.
