| Input | Calendar events, Asana/Notion tasks, a sheet of renewals |
| Tools | Make (scheduler), Google Calendar, Asana or Notion, Google Sheets, an AI step, Gmail |
| Time | Setup about an hour. It replaces checking three apps every Monday. That's our estimate. |

Where it breaks
- Time zones. Set the scenario's time zone explicitly, or Sunday-evening tasks end up in Monday's list.
- Anything customer-facing or money-related. Keep a human approval step until you've watched a few dozen runs and trust it.
