not looking for tool recommendations, more curious about actual workflows people have set up.

for me its lead follow up and ad reporting. i used to spend 2-3 hours a day on follow up emails and pulling numbers from facebook ads. now its all automated and i just review the summary each morning.

whats the one thing ai handles for you that you used to do manually? bonus points if its something boring that nobody talks about

I run a solo logistics business (~$3M in annual revenue) and I’m looking to both understand and implement AI agents to help operate and scale the business, including areas like sales outreach, marketing, and internal operations.

My challenge is not just that I don’t code, but that I’m not fully sure which parts of my day-to-day work (and even some personal admin) are best suited to be automated or use AI for. I’m looking for guidance in identifying those opportunities and then actually being able to implement those solutions.

On a side note, I’m also searching for a CTO-type partner to continue building out our logistics technology. I previously worked with an offshore engineering agency, but moving forward I have a clear product vision and a long list of features I want to develop. From what I’m seeing, AI could meaningfully accelerate both feature development and iteration if applied correctly.

What I’m really looking for is someone who can take the time to understand how I operate day-to-day, then design, build, and deploy AI agents that save me time and help drive growth, while also teaching me how everything works along the way. A few examples include improving our search rankings, generating recurring social media posts, helping with outbound prospecting sales/emails, etc.

Although I should and want to learn (at least the basics), but given my time constraints, the ideal setup would be working with someone already proficient who can lead implementation while bringing me up to speed at the same time.

Would appreciate any recommendations on resources or where to find someone who fits this profile, paid of course.
