Ask HN: What's your best marketing automation techniques?

I discovered (as many before me...) that marketing is probably the hardest aspect of growing a business. It takes time, patience and perseverance.

I spend a fair amount of time everyday trying to be creative on how I could automate my marketing efforts.

I'm a dev and I work mostly alone so I learned to be efficient in almost everything I do. Always looking for low hanging fruits with maximum impact and controlled costs.

I use automation tools, connect APIs when it makes sense, code some connectors when the tool does not support it, etc.

But I often get stuck when looking to solve complicated problems with advanced scripts that could dynamically take decision based on text analysis, sentiment, topic, etc. In other words replace part of what a human would do but with AI.
