What you'll learn

How to delegate work to AI

Learn the mindset shift from "chatting with AI" to delegating tasks to AI.

Automations vs. workflows vs. agents

Get crisp definitions and real examples for each.

When to use an automation, workflow, or agent

A simple decision guide for picking the right pattern based on the task.

Why this topic matters

"Automation," "workflow," and "agent" get used interchangeably — but they're not the same, and picking the wrong one is why so many AI projects stall. You'll learn a practical model for delegating to AI: how to break a task down, choose between a one-shot automation, a structured workflow, or an agent, and set it up so it works in your real work.
