How do you decide which content tasks to automate and which to keep manual?

I'd say there are 3 categories: 1. Fully automate: - Low quality requirements - Low stakes / impact / value - Low impact - Low value - Tedious 2. Human in the loop - Don't require too much creativity - Higher stakes / impact / value - Somewhat repetitive 3. Human first (potentially with AI help) - High stakes / impact / value - Requires creativity - One off tasks

Deciding what to automate vs. keeping manual comes down to balancing efficiency with authenticity. For example, I use tools like Draftly to automate idea generation and streamline repetitive tasks, while reserving the creative and engagement aspects for a personal touch. In our community, we often discuss strategies to strike this balance—if you'd like to dive deeper or share your thoughts, let’s connect!

I usually automate low-stakes, repetitive content like product descriptions or meta tags. For high-value, creative content like blog posts I have a human write the first draft, then use AI to help refine, shorten, and punch it up. Keeps the quality and creativity high while still leveraging AI!
