Removing human labor
Automating is the process of making something operate automatically, without continuous human intervention.
You automate tasks by setting up systems—mechanical, electronic, or software—to perform them independently: We're automating the invoice process, automating customer responses.
The goal is typically efficiency, consistency, or freeing humans for other work.
