    Taking Automation to the Next Level with AI-Enhanced Workflows

    WATCH THE VIDEO: https://youtu.be/jJqGZCba6WQ In this episode of The Automation Show, we dive into the integration of AI with marketing automation and explore a highly customized automation setup using GoHighLevel. Host Shaun Whynacht walks us through a real client use case for a wellness assessment that captures leads and assesses their scores across five wellness categories: social, community, health, financial, and purpose. Unlike traditional nurturing, where all leads receive the same follow-up sequence, this setup takes a tailored approach, delivering content based on each individual’s lowest scoring wellness areas. Shaun details how GoHighLevel’s Client Connector and ChatGPT functionality allow for a sequence that prioritizes the lowest scoring categories, transitioning leads through targeted content based on their progress. By using an innovative “rank sorting” system, the automation assigns the next lowest category after each completed sequence, ensuring a fully personalized journey for every user. He also touches on potential generational customization, adapting messaging based on age. For those wanting to see the visual setup, Shaun recommends watching the YouTube video linked in the show notes, as it includes a detailed walkthrough of the workflows and tag systems used. This episode is packed with insights for anyone looking to elevate their automated marketing efforts with AI.

    AI in Schools: A Double-Edged Sword?

    In this episode of The Automation Show, I dive into a concerning side effect of AI and automation: the impact on critical thinking skills among youth. This conversation comes from the recent introduction of ChatGPT in Canadian schools, which has sparked worries about students relying too heavily on AI tools for problem-solving instead of developing their own independent critical thinking abilities. I emphasize the importance of balancing AI use with fostering traditional problem-solving skills, both in classrooms and at home. The goal is to encourage educators and parents to guide students in using AI as an enhancement tool, rather than a crutch, while promoting independent thinking and a deeper understanding of processes. 00:00 Introduction: The Hidden Side Effect of AI and Automation 00:21 Welcome to The Automation Show 00:53 Concerns About Introducing AI in Schools 01:48 The Importance of Critical Thinking 03:00 Balancing AI and Education at Home 05:18 Final Thoughts and Call for Feedback
