For anyone who spends hours a day answering email. You'll start by letting ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot draft replies inside the tools you already use. Then you'll automate it with Zapier and Make, and finish with an n8n responder that reads incoming email and replies for you.

Work through them in order: each step builds on the one before it, and every module runs in a practice copy of ChatGPT and n8n right in your browser. It is free, and no experience is needed.
