Success stories
- This course was a real breakthrough for me. The material was structured, clear, and focused on practical results. I especially appreciated Lena’s personal approach and willingness to help with any questions, no matter how complex. The most valuable part for me was learning to notice opportunities for automation – both in daily life and in business.
Dmitry Selenya
Senior QA engineer @ Vizor Games - I really liked the format: short lessons with step-by-step examples, plus homework you could share and get feedback on. This kept me motivated to keep going and dive deeper. In the end, I built a habit of using AI not just as a search tool or conversation partner, but as a key part of automating processes that really needed it.
Maria Kruglova
Program Manager @ Podlodka Crew - I really liked it right from the start, when we made a table to figure out which processes could and should be automated 🙂 The most useful part for me was about Make.com, I’m still learning to build different automations that are useful for my work 🔥 Your style of teaching and the way you ran the live sessions really resonated with me!
Yuliia
Capital Markets Assistant - For me it’s especially important that approaches and tools are not just useful, but also thoughtful. In this sense, the course really hit the mark. Lena’s method really resonated with me: don’t rush to automate everything at once, first understand which tasks are worth handing over to AI, and why, and only then decide how exactly to do it.
Alex Shlyakhova
Organizational Development Consultant - I really liked Lena’s structured approach and the specific framework she introduced for identifying tasks worth automating. As a direct result of the course, I identified several tasks to automate and created a few automations in n8n, simplifying how I manage, collect, and analyse information. Highly recommend!
Alexey Klimenchuk
Product Owner @ ACCC - Lena takes a very systematic and structured approach to teaching. She started the course with an exercise where participants first analysed their tasks to determine which ones were actually worth automating and which ones were not. Only after that did we move on to learning the tools. I now use this knowledge to automate my own personal tasks.
