I definitely agree on the 3 automation tools (n8n, Make, and Zapier). In my experience, Zapier is definitely the most intuitive one and easy to get started with. n8n is probably my favourite due to the ability to run it on the local machine for free, but occasional JavaScript does catch me out at times. Make is probably the one I've had the least experience with, and I found some setups quite awkward to configure, but it does have a fairly generous free plan, so I prefer it for simpler workflows.

I find PowerAutomate a bit clunky for my liking: it integrated well with MS, yes, but connecting everything else could get quite tricky. ClickUp I'm just exploring as an alternative to Monday.com, but I've heard really good things about their AI automations (which are also available on Monday, although quite limited unless you pay a pretty penny). The one thing I did find useful about Monday was their newly added Monday Vibe feature. It looks very much like Lovable but you can essentially add any features or automations to your boards and create a sort of "app" out of it – haven't tested it myself, but it certainly looked intriguing.
