No-Code AI Automation for Beginners

Build simple, reliable workflows that save hours — forms, sheets, emails, tasks and AI — without writing code. Copying form entries into a sheet, sending the same confirmation email, assigning enquiries to staff, sorting messages — these small tasks eat hours every week. This book teaches you to design, build, test and maintain no-code automations step by step, add AI for sorting and drafting, and keep everything private, affordable and under control.
