The Roadmap

This Roadmap shows how I am learning AI automation from the ground up. It is for beginners who want to follow a real path toward learning about automation.

I will share what I learn, what I build, what breaks, and what I change. The Roadmap is not finished because I am still working through it.

Reading it is free. The value comes from following the work as it happens.

Where I am

Right now, I am learning how APIs, JSON, triggers, actions, and automation tools work. APIs let different tools share information. JSON is a common format for organizing that information. A trigger is the event that starts an automation, and an action is what the automation does next. I am also trying to decide who I want to help.

When I finish this stage, I will share the automations I built, what went wrong, and what I learned from fixing them.

Stage 01. Foundations + who you help

My first automation

I built an automation that moved information from Gmail to Google Sheets. The goal was to save client emails inside a spreadsheet.

The first problem I faced was that every email appeared as one large block of text inside a single box. I could not make the automation separate the sender's name, the date, and the message into different columns.

I fixed the problem by using a built-in split tool. It broke the email text into separate parts by looking for specific words.

This taught me that computers are literal. They need specific instructions.

Stages 02 to 06

These stages are outlines because I have not reached them yet. I will add more detail only after I complete the work myself.
