If You Hate It, Automate It

If repetitive tasks feel below your pay grade — endless cutting and pasting, approvals, reporting, follow‑ups, and manual coordination — this workshop is for you.

Knowledge workers spend hours every week on repetitive, low‑value work: data entry, report creation, task approvals, email overload, ticket triage, and status updates. These activities drain productivity and morale, pulling focus away from strategic, high‑impact work.

This workshop shows how Claude, Anthropic’s AI model, can take over much of this work by understanding intent, reasoning through requests, and handling workflows the way a human would.

Instead of asking people to learn complex automation tools first, we start with a simpler question:

What work do you hate doing — and what decisions are involved?

Claude becomes the thinking layer that handles those decisions. The tools come second.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to use Claude to automate repetitive tasks and reclaim hours in your day — without needing to be technical.

We’ll show how to:

• Identify high‑impact automation opportunities in everyday workflows
• Use Claude to understand emails, documents, requests, and data
• Let AI handle decisions, routing, summaries, and follow‑ups
• Choose the right level of automation for each problem
• Understand when (and when not) deeper implementation is required

For teams that want to go further, we’ll also briefly show how these automations are implemented behind the scenes using Claude Code — but always in an accessible, non‑intimidating way.
