Covers the conceptual difference between deterministic automations (Zapier, Make, N8N) and non-deterministic AI workflows that use LLMs to handle dynamic content. The three workflows built are: (1) a daily email digest that categorizes Gmail messages by priority and drafts replies, saving results to Google Drive; (2) a daily YouTube competitor research report that tracks channels and top-performing videos in a Google Sheet; and (3) a lead research pipeline that finds recently funded AI SaaS companies, scores them as sponsorship prospects, and sends a daily Slack report. GenSpark sponsors the video and is used throughout as the workflow builder. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
