Presenting: Choosing the Right Automation & AI Tools: Practical Decisions for European Businesses
Many businesses struggle with AI and automation, not because the technology is missing, but because they choose the wrong tools at the wrong time. In this session, you will get a clear framework for deciding when to automate, when to introduce AI, and which tools fit different types of work.
The speaker focuses on decision-making, not technical demos. You will learn how to assess process maturity, recognize where human judgment still matters, and avoid common mistakes like automating broken processes or using AI as a shortcut without understanding what it actually does.
You will see how to distinguish between automation-first and AI-first approaches, and where tools like Make, n8n, and AI-agent platforms fit into real operational scenarios. The session also covers what European teams should consider around data privacy, hosting, and long-term maintenance, so your choices remain sustainable as your business grows.
This session gives you mental models, practical examples, and actionable guidelines you can apply immediately to evaluate automation and AI opportunities in your own organization. You will leave with clarity on how to make smarter tool decisions that support real business outcomes.
