Workflows that run on their own – each with a free and a premium variant.

All 17 automations
  • Faceless video pipeline

    Short videos for Reels, Shorts and TikTok without your own camera or voice – ideal for anonymous or scalable channels.

  • Content repurposing: 1 article → ~10 posts

    Turn a single piece of content (blog article, video transcript) into many platform-ready social posts automatically. Saves hours and keeps your visibility consistent.

  • LinkedIn agent: posts, comments & DMs with Claude skills

    Eleven free Claude skills write your LinkedIn posts, comments, replies and weekly plan – with a humanizer check. You review and post yourself.

  • Content idea & hook generator

    Never face a blank page again. A steady stream of fresh topics and hooks tailored to your niche – right in a plannable editorial calendar.

  • Email triage: classify & draft replies

    Your inbox sorts itself – important mail first, ready-made reply drafts already waiting. One of the biggest daily time-savers.

  • Daily inbox assistant

    Every morning a short summary of yesterday's important mail – plus a ready to-do list. Instead of reading your inbox: an overview in two minutes.

We try every tool ourselves and rank it by output quality, free tier and ease of entry. Prices are guide values as of October 2026 – providers change them often.
