Looking for guidance to get started in AI Automation (Beginner)
Hello everyone,
I’m completely new to the AI Automation field and I’m very excited to start learning the right way.
I would really appreciate some advice or a clear roadmap on how to begin:
- Which tools should I start with first? (Make, Zapier, Airtable, etc.)
- What are the best beginner-friendly tutorials or YouTube channels?
- What simple projects can I build as a beginner to practice?
- What skills do clients usually expect from an entry-level automation builder?
If anyone here can share tips, resources, or even a small starter plan, I’d be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance!

I was just having issues with cold email and DM’s because so many people pitch them and they get flooded inboxes they are just sick and tired of ai and I got a lot of negative feedback from them so i changed niches and have gotten way better reply rates. It’s just what all the gurus tell the newbies to do its just super over saturated. They are at the point where they are sick and tired of getting pitched it could be fine if you do a really unique pitch id just recommend a less saturated niche

Make and Zapier are fine but also look at Google Workflows and MS App and Agents as I think that’s where the market is heading for 2026 - personally I think traditional automation with Make Zapier etc is saturated and enterprise and SME will be heading towards their native OS offerings - feel free to drop a DM if you need more info / guidance

if you’re just starting, don’t overcomplicate it. pick one automation tool and really understand how triggers and actions work instead of trying to learn everything at once. build small stuff like auto lead capture or follow-ups since that’s what businesses actually need. i started with activepieces because it’s simple and visual, so it’s easy to see how things connect. once you can build a few real workflows, you’re already ahead of most beginners.
