The Founder's Automation Playbook
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.
Inbox and communication
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.
