The 5 AI Loops I Run Every Day
By Hank BarkerPublished
The five automation loops I run daily, plus the full 70-loop library. Set them once and they run themselves.
A loop is a task you set up once that then runs on its own. It fires on a trigger, does the work, checks itself, and stops when it is done.
Here are the five I run every day, and a library of 70 more to borrow from.
What's inside
- What a loop actually is, in plain terms, with one simple diagram.
- The five loops I lean on daily, and exactly what each one does for me.
- When to run a loop on your own machine versus in the cloud, so it works even when your computer is off.
- The full 70-loop library, sorted so you can find one and copy it.
Who it's for
Anyone doing the same small task over and over. Turn it into a loop and get the time back.
