Lesson 10Guided by Jalen7:00
"What if your phone automatically did the boring stuff — without you?"
Jalen, a teenage wide receiver, shows how AI automation works exactly like a football play: someone calls it, the system runs it, and a coach watches from the sideline. Build your first automation, learn the one rule of when NOT to automate, and reclaim hours of your week.

- Design a simple automation workflow
- Identify repetitive tasks AI can handle
- Connect multiple AI tools in sequence
