Every founder we audit asks the same first question. Where do I start?
This is the answer. 32 automations the founders we work with set up first. Some take a day. Some take a week. All of them stop being your job after that.
<aside> 💡 The good ones don't make you faster. They get the work off your plate entirely.

You're not meant to do them all. Pick three. We'll get to which three later.
1. Inbox triage. Reads your inbox each morning. Drafts the replies in your voice. Flags the three threads that actually need you. You open Gmail to decisions, not noise.
2. Meeting-to-action. Calls get transcribed and split into tasks automatically. The follow-up email is drafted before you leave the room.
3. Voice-note inbox. Walk and talk. Every voice note becomes structured notes, tasks, or drafts in the right place. No more "I'll write that up later".
4. FAQ auto-responder. Common questions get answered immediately in your voice. Anything novel gets flagged to you with full context.
5. Booking agent. Replaces back-and-forth scheduling. People hit a link, see your calendar, book. You get a brief before the meeting.
6. Lead research. Tell it your ideal customer. It finds them, researches what they're working on, drafts a personalised cold message for each. You read, edit, send.
7. CRM keep-up. Every booked call, sent email, and signed contract auto-updates the contact. Notes, source, last touch. You stop forgetting who you owe a reply to.
8. Call prep. Lead's name in. Brief in your inbox the night before. Company, founder background, likely pain, three opening questions.
9. Proposal generator. Call transcript in. First-draft proposal out. Scope, deliverables, price, timeline, in your format.
10. Follow-up. Scans your CRM for leads gone quiet. Drafts the nudge ready to send. One-click approve.
11. Invoice chase. The moment an invoice goes overdue, the chase email drafts itself in your tone. Day 7 and day 14.
