Intelligent Automation

This is the first reference book on intelligent automation (IA). Also called hyperautomation, it is one of the most recent trends in the field of artificial intelligence. IA is a cutting-edge combination of methods and technologies involving people, organizations, machine learning, low-code platforms, robotic process automation (RPA), and more. This book is for everyone - whether you are an experienced practitioner, new to the topic, or simply interested in what the future holds for enterprises, work, life, and society as a whole.

If you've already tried the "50 automations" approach — scattered tips from YouTube tutorials, half-finished Zapier flows, ChatGPT prompts that work in isolation but never connect to anything — you already know the difference. Tips give you a slightly better toolbox. Systems give you back your week.

To grow produce of the highest nutritional quality the essential minerals lacking in our soil must be replaced, but this re-mineralization calls for far more attention to detail than the simple addition of composted manure or NPK fertilizers. The Intelligent Gardener demystifies the process, while simultaneously debunking much of the false and misleading information perpetuated by both the conventional and organic agricultural movements. In doing so, it conclusively establishes the link between healthy soil, healthy food, and healthy people.

You didn’t save time, you just started managing AI. You try to get AI to do something. You write a prompt, expecting it to handle the task. It gives you an answer… but it’s not really what you wanted. So you tweak it. Add a bit more detail. Try again. Now there’s another issue. Something still feels off. So you adjust it again. Rewrite parts of it. Clarify what you meant. And it keeps going like this. Each time, you get a little closer… but never quite there. So you step in again—guiding it, correcting it, fixing it. Before long, you’re constantly tweaking and micromanaging ...
