Combining AI Tools into Powerful Workflows

Using AI for one-off tasks is fine. But where it really gets interesting? When you learn how to merge these tools together and create complex workflows. That’s when the penny drops and you realise that your business is about to seriously level up.

Picture this: a customer fills out a feedback form. AI reads their response, picks up the sentiment, pulls out the key themes, and voila, it creates a task in your project board and even sends a follow-up email that sounds like it came from a real human. That’s not just automation, that’s smart automation.

Popular Tool Combinations

It’s easy to get lost in all the tools. So before you start building anything, sketch it out, on paper, a whiteboard, wherever. Ask yourself: What actually kicks this off? What info do I need at each step? Where does it need to go? And what part of this could AI actually take off my plate?

Once you’ve got the flow down, then start thinking about the tech.

Here are some combinations that are working for others right now:

Customer research: A Google Form gets completed, It’s then turned into an AI summary and then, gets emailed over to your team

You can collect responses, get instant insights, and share takeaways without lifting a finger.

E-comm owners are using it to: Take a Shopify order and put it into AI analysis, this then creates a Google Sheet report, which is then used for various data, like flagging VIP customers or weird order patterns that need a second look.

Content workflows can connect your CMS to AI writing tools and social media schedulers. Blog posts can then get automatically turned into social media content, email newsletters, and other promotional materials.
