Automations are quickly becoming much easier to set up. I made a video a few weeks ago about how I think that most automations are a waste of time. In that video I was talking about N a n and make.com and while there are some great uses for those tools, I've generally see people waste more time setting up automations than they actually save. However, a few weeks ago, Google released Opal. If you haven't heard of it, it makes it really easy to set up simple automations. You just give it a prompt and it builds out the whole automation for you and it's not gonna be the right choice for complex automations where you need a lot of granular control but if you just need to do something quickly, it's kind of amazing. I've been using it to scrape and summarize the content of web pages or YouTube videos. This is something that could easily be automated with N a N but I'd probably spend 30 minute
