AI Workflow Automation
Slideshow with Dave Hayward, episode 4
In the fourth episode of Slideshow with Dave Hayward, Dave and Edmundo Ortega (founder of Machine & Partners and lecturer at Section) demo a live example of AI workflow automation and explore the evolution of AI and automation tools, discussing the transition from consumer applications to more sophisticated developer tools (the “AI continuum” or “AI gap”).
The AI continuum, part 2
This is part 2 of a three-part mini-series on the “AI continuum.” Discussion highlights the differences between AI and digital transformation, emphasising the need for new workflows and the potential of vertical tools. The discussion also covers practical applications of automation tools like N8N, showcasing how these technologies can streamline business processes and enhance efficiency.

Takeaways
- The gap between consumer apps and developer tools is closing.
- I transformation fundamentally changes workflows compared to digital transformation (which was often replicating the analog processes it replaced).
- Vertical tools are emerging to fill specific needs in various industries.
- Automation tools like N8N allow for complex data processing without extensive coding.
- The integration of AI into existing systems is essential for maximising value.
