“Ask HN: What do you still do manually in 2026 that should be automated? I'm researching pain points around manual workflows that haven't been automated yet. Specifically looking for tasks where: - You do the same thing 5+ times a week - You've looked for a tool but nothing good exists - You'd pay $10-20/month if something just worked What's yours? Curious to hear both technical and non-technical answers.”
