Want to know the REAL difference between automation and AI agents?

May 14, 2025

1 tech thing: Want to know the REAL difference between automation and AI agents?

Here's what nobody tells you about AI systems:

Automation is like a robot following orders
(perfect for basic, repetitive tasks)

AI Workflows are the middle child
(smart enough to handle patterns, but still needs guidance)

AI Agents are the independent teenagers
(they choose their own tools and make decisions)

But here's the truth:

Most companies waste money on AI agents when simple automation would do the job.

It's like buying a Ferrari to drive to your mailbox 🤦‍♂️

The secret?
Match the tool to your actual needs:

1. Need repetitive tasks done? → Automation
2. Want pattern recognition? → AI Workflows
3. Need complex decision-making? → AI Agents

What have you implemented in your business? Basic Automations or AI Agents?

Check out the real-world use cases of automation, AI workflows, and agents!

2 quotes on point!

"Wisdom is knowing what to do next, virtue is doing it."
― David Starr Jordan

“Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.”
― Vince Lombardi

3 Founder power moves – are you doing these?

1. Hire for Trajectory, not Pedigree

Prioritize raw talent, drive, and learning agility over big-name resumes.
Spot underdogs early, give them room to grow, and earn fierce loyalty. Your early hires are culture co-founders—treat them like it.

2. Control the Calendar

Your calendar reflects your priorities. Ruthlessly guard your time—opt out of reactive mode and schedule deep work, customer convos, and strategic thinking.
Block at least 4–6 hours/week for "CEO time" (thinking, not doing). High-leverage founders make time to zoom out.

3. Default to Speed, then Optimize

Speed builds energy across your team and signals strength to the market.
Iterate fast → win trust → grow fast.
Don't wait for perfecting it, it kills Momentum. Strive for Momentum, Perfection will come gradually.
