Designed and built the core product experience for Beauto, an AI-powered automation tool for small businesses.
What I did:
AI Assistant — chat interface where users describe a task and the AI builds the automation, with proactive, impact-ranked suggestions
Integrations hub — searchable library of one-click connections (Calendar, Stripe, HubSpot, Slack, etc.)
Analytics dashboard — automations run, hours saved, and conversion rate at a glance
Result: A chat-first flow that felt far less intimidating than traditional automation builders in user testing, driving most new automations created.
So creative 👏
Automating my weekly reports
I recently worked on a project to automate my weekly business metrics reports. I used n8n to connect the Schedule Trigger node, Google Sheets node, and Gmail node. This automation has saved me a significant amount of time and reduced errors. The tech stack included Google Sheets for data fetching and Gmail for sending the reports. I'm excited to see the impact of this automation on my workflow.

Case Study: From Manual Workflow to Automated Business System
Many business processes don't start as complex systems.
They often begin with a simple spreadsheet.
Client data goes into one file.
Tasks are tracked somewhere else.
Proposals are created manually.
Invoices are generated separately.
Files are stored across different folders.
As the workload grows, managing everything becomes increasingly difficult.
A structured Google Workspace automation workflow can connect these processes into one system:
🔹 Centralized CRM — Manage leads and client information in one place.
🔹 Automated Proposals — Generate professional proposal documents from structured data.
🔹 Workflow Tracking — Monitor project stages, tasks, and follow-ups.
🔹 Automated Documents — Generate PDFs and business documents without repetitive manual work.
🔹 Dashboard Analytics — Turn operational data into useful business insights.
🔹 Google Workspace Integration — Connect Sheets, Drive, Gmail, Docs, and Calendar.
The biggest improvement isn't simply making the interface look like software.
It's creating a workflow where data moves automatically between the processes that matter.
Less manual work.
Fewer disconnected tools.
Better visibility.
More time to focus on the business.
This is the approach I use when designing Google Workspace automation systems: understand the workflow first, then build the technology around it.
What part of your current workflow would benefit most from automation?
