Clients often start with the same request: "Let's build an AI agent." My counter-question is always: which manual process actually costs you time, errors, or money right now? My selection rule: remove it first. If it can't be removed, simplify it. If it's still needed, automate it with a plain script. Only then add an integration or an agent. Often the best result is the process that no longer exists. Safe automation means real scenarios, error handling, and alerts. Without alerts, a workflow can silently lose data for weeks. I always define what stays with a human and what goes to the system. Question for you: which process would you automate first, and why is it still manual?

Alerts are the part I'd underline. In my Linux deploy demo I killed the service on purpose and systemd restarted it, but without an alert nobody would know it happened. For small workflows, where do you send alerts: email, Slack, or something else?
