Hi Reader,

​

So here we are — first proper newsletter back, and I'm already breaking my own rules by writing this the day before posting with an emptied cappuccino. Some things never change.

​

But here's what has changed: I'm finally practicing what I've been preaching.

​

🤖 Automation Wizard (Coming Soon)

I've spent the last few weeks setting up my automation consultancy properly. Not just the business side, but actually using every tool I recommend to clients. I'll be really leaning into an automation tools called n8n. No longer a slow on hold side hustle this is going to have to be my main thing.

​

It's one thing to tell someone "you should automate your email workflows" and another to have 47 different automations running your own life. I'm currently testing workflows and AI tools to organise my tasks, sort through my email and even set up and maintain these projects I'm bootstrapping.

​

This is leading to something bigger: Automation Wizard — a new Substack newsletter launching in the next few weeks or less (and underwhelming website is already back up and taking queries for my services at AutomationWizard.com). Think of it as the tactical, hands-on cousin to Incantations. Where this newsletter is the thinking-out-loud space, Automation Wizard will be the "here's exactly how to build it" space and directly related to my consultancy offerings and products related to automation and AI. I've got other projects both related and not to follow on from this, but this is the first one and most tightly related to what should be my main "job" income.

The Meta Game

There's something funnily recursive about using AI to write content and structure and run my products and services for AI automation. I'm not trying to replace the human bits (the weird observations, the late-night "what if" thoughts, the occasional existential crisis about whether my email bot is more organized than I am, it will be!), but I am letting the machines handle the mundane stuff.

​

If I'm going to help other people reclaim their time through automation, I better be living it myself.

​

What's Next

More experiments. More behind-the-scenes. More "I tried this weird thing and here's what happened."

​

And soon, a proper playground where we can build these automations together.

​

Until the next incantation,

Andrew
