Automation Doesn’t Remove Work. It Reveals It.
Today, here’s the next thing I’m noticing. Everyone’s suddenly talking about AI agents, automations, copilots, workflows that “run on their own.” And on paper, it all sounds incredible. AI that books meetings. AI that follows up. AI that summarises, tracks, reminds, executes. But here’s the quiet truth most people discover in less than a week: Automation doesn’t remove work. It exposes where work was never clearly defined. If a team doesn’t know: - who decides what - when something is “done” - where information actually lives then automating it just makes the confusion grow faster. I see this a lot. People don’t need more automation. They need fewer unclear handoffs. That’s why, in my work, AI automation is never about “what can we automate?” It’s about: “What should never have required human energy in the first place?” Once that’s clear, automation feels magical. Before that, it feels noisy. The future of AI at work isn’t about replacing people. It’s about protecting attention. And the teams that get this right won’t look the busiest. They’ll look the calmest. That’s the kind of system I’m building. Lets connect on comments section to hear how the community is dealing with AI Automations!
