10 AI Automations That Do the Jobs You Can't Hire For Yet

Ten AI automations that do the work of a sales rep, a researcher, an accounts assistant and an executive assistant, for about ₹1,000 a month in tools.

Most early-stage founders run sales, support, marketing and accounts alone, often from their phone. This playbook shows you how to set up ten no-code automations with Google Sheets, Make.com and Claude that find buyers, research leads, win back cold deals, chase unpaid invoices and tell you each morning what needs you.

The 10 automations

1. Demand Radar: find people publicly asking for what you sell, with a reply drafted.
2. Lead Researcher: every new lead researched, scored and given a personal first message.
3. Lost-Lead Autopsy: find out why a lead went cold and win them back.
4. Conversation-to-Follow-up: objections, promises and next steps captured after every call.
5. Churn Early Warning: spot customers drifting away before they leave.
6. Happy-Customer Multiplier: turn happy customers into Google reviews and referrals.
7. Voice-of-Customer Engine: a weekly report of what customers say, in their own words.
8. Competitor Watch: know when rivals change prices and catch their unhappy customers.
9. Cash Watchdog: polite automatic invoice reminders and a low-cash alert.
10. AI Chief of Staff: one morning email with the three things that need you today.
