✍🏻 Homework #1
Have a look at Zapier’s list of compatible apps.
1. Which ones are you already using?
2. Think of a process that involves 2 or more apps that you’d like to automate? (e.g. one app triggers an action in another)
3. How can intelligence make this “zap” better? (i.e. by adding “human” judgment or creativity to the process)
✍🏻 Homework #1
- Go to: https://ana.textql.com/ and sign-up (for free)
- Try a few of the “recommended questions.”
- Write your own questions. You can use some basic data from your own work/life.
- Upload a file with data (Excel/CSV). Ask Ana some questions about it.
You can ask it to make calculations and create charts with data. You can also ask it for recommendations on what can be done with the data.
