Explanation of the choices you make before anything gets built. Including when the answer is that you do not need me.
Almost everything written about AI is written by someone selling a tool. These pages are too, with one difference: they also say when you should choose something else, or nothing at all. That is not modesty. Advice that always lands on me is not advice.

- Make, n8n or ZapierThree tools that look alike and charge very differently. The choice depends on volume and on who maintains it.
- AI agent or automationThe word agent gets attached to everything. This is the difference that decides what you should build.
Choosing and costs
