Send Google Sheets Updates to Telegram with Make Automation

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced world, businesses are looking for ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs. One of the biggest debates is whether AI automation outperforms manual work in terms of time savings and cost-effectiveness. While traditional methods have been the backbone of many industries, AI is rapidly changing the game. In this article, we’ll compare AI-driven automation with manual processes to see which one offers the most value.
